13 East-Coast states are moving to set pollution regulations aimed at distributors of gasoline
Thirteen New England and mid-Atlantic states are moving to set pollution regulations aimed at distributors of gasoline, potentially opening another front in the Trump administration’s attempt to prevent states from setting stricter standards than the federal government.
Last month, the Trump administration moved to revoke California’s right to limit air pollution from cars, launched an investigation of four automaker who agreed to abide by California’s stricter greenhouse gas emission rules and threatened to withhold federal highway funds from the nation’s largest state.
The transportation sector of the U.S. economy is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for more than one-third of all such emissions in the U.S., according to the TCI’s web site.
