The American Energy Alliance (AEA) led an effort of of 25 free market organizations, including E&E Legal, to send a letter to Congress urging rejection of the California Waivers.
The letter continues, in part:
The undersigned organizations write in strong support of Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions of disapproval targeting Environmental Protection Agency Clean Air Act preemption waivers granted to California. We urge both the House and Senate to prioritize these companion measures as they return from the August recess…
Cars II, Advanced Clean Trucks, and related waivers. California’s special waiver authority under Section 209 of the Clean Air Act was intended to address unique, localized air-quality problems in that state. It was never intended to turn the California Air Resources Board into a de facto national regulator that dictates vehicle design, engine technology, port operations, and consumer choice for the rest of the country.
