Senate Confirms #LeeZeldin to Head #EPA where hes charged with executing Trump’s orders to dismantle #environmental #regulation
Former NY congressman has little experience in environmental policy. He is expected to follow orders to weaken #climate rules. One rule, finalized last year, would cut #tailpipe #emissions of #greenhousegas, nation’s largest source of planet-warming #pollution, by compelling #automakers to increase sales of hybrid and EV.

#US #oil and #corn #lobbying groups are suing #Biden admin over plans to slash planet-warming #tailpipe #emissions from #cars and #trucks, arguing regulations will cause economic harm.
#EPA this spring finalized new rules for semi-trucks, buses and other heavy-duty vehicles released from 2027-2032 in a bid to cut 1 billion tons of #greenhousegas emissions through 2055 and require up to 56% of all car sales be electric between 2030 and 2032.

Republican #attorneysgeneral from 25 states sued #US #EPA to block rules intended to reduce planet-warming #emissions from #cars and light #trucks and encourage #electricvehicle manufacturing, arguing the agency exceeded its legal authority.
The EPA rules aim to cut fleetwide #tailpipe emissions for cars and light trucks by nearly 50% over 2026 levels in 2032, and reduce #greenhousegas emissions by 7.2 billion tons through 2055. autoblog.com/2024/04/18/gop-le #climatechange #climatecrisis
