Under Trump's latest attack on our health & economy, big oil wins -- and you lose. Stripping states' rights to set strong tailpipe pollution limits means dirtier air, more climate-damaging emissions, and profits for fossil fuel companies. www.clf.org/newsroom/tru... #routezero @theclf.bsky.social
Trump Signs Repeal of Clean Cars and Trucks Standards
Transportation is the largest source of carbon pollution in New England. Switching from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles cuts the pollution that endangers health and fuels climate change.
