EPA vehicle emissions rule is out.

"The said that under its final rule, the industry could meet the limits if 56% of new vehicle sales are electric by 2032, along with at least 13% plug-in

The EPA rule applies to model years 2027 to 2032 and will significantly reduce of planet-warming greenhouse gases, as well as other such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from new passenger cars, light trucks and pickups."

@CelloMomOnCars they could probably accomplish just as much by regulating the size of vehicles so that they’re not tanks anymore

"The fossil fuel industry has sought to drum up opposition to the EPA rule, which could eat into demand for its petroleum products.

The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), an industry trade group, has launched a seven-figure campaign against what it calls a de facto “gas car ban.” The campaign includes ads in battleground states warning that the rule will restrict consumer choice."

Expect a disinformation campaign.

@CelloMomOnCars 'Misinformation' is not wrong, but if the misleading is by design, 'disinfo' is the more precise term.

@CelloMomOnCars , put a CO² emission charge on all fossil fuel operated vehicles,
or start charging them for damages to health.
