Take Action: Support Cleaner Cars, Close the Loopholes!

Support Cleaner Cars, Close the Loopholes!

The Obama Administration has proposed vehicle emissions standards that will make vehicles sold in the United States cleaner and more efficient.

This will take our vehicle standards out of the 1970s and into the 21st century, laying a strong foundation for the cleaner vehicles we need to end our reliance on oil and curb global warming.

But unless the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) close loopholes in the proposed regulations, automakers will just continue producing gas-guzzlers and our climate crisis will continue to grow. We only have until Friday, Nov. 27th to weigh in!

I applaud your efforts to implement standards that will make our cars and trucks cleaner and more efficient. The vehicles sold under the standards that President Obama announced will save 1.8 billion barrels of oil, $193 billion in consumer gasoline costs, and will significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

I urge the EPA and the DOT not to let excessive credits and unneeded flexibility keep us from reaching oil savings and emission reduction goals.

Both agencies should include a backstop that will ensure the auto industry meets the 2016 targets. As it stands now, we could end up with more pollution and less oil savings if automakers simply produce more gas-guzzling trucks than the proposal predicts.

These standards will help Detroit become a leader in green vehicles - by putting the best of today's technology to work and investing in future technologies such as electric vehicles. But we need to ensure that electric vehicle credits don't allow automakers to fail to clean up other vehicles in their fleet. The standards should treat electric vehicles accurately.

I am excited about cleaner cars and applaud the Administration for proposing standards that are a win for consumers, automakers, and the environment. Strong final rules will take vehicle standards out of the 1970s and into the 21st century, laying a strong foundation for the cleaner vehicles we need to end our reliance on oil and curb global warming.
