For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: There were never any mandates. There were goals, there were targets... WRONG Seems your information is outdated. Originally under Biden, those started as "goals," (but called de facto mandates.) Then there were steps allowing California to adopt it own mandates, as exceptions to the EPA regulating tailpipe emissions. And then, finally, individual states were allowed to sign on to the California mandates. Maryland was among the 11 (or more) states that have signed on. Now both the House and Senate have acted on three resolutions to revoke those Calif "mandates". And those three resolutions were finalized when Trump signed the resolutions. You'll see some of that history in today's reports -- or can look it up. Your excerpts left out the provisions where a bunch of other states have signed onto those same mandates. Also now being dropped. ALSO, Your cited links are a bit outdated. But there's plenty others actually dated today that folks can read, if interested. Here's one: Trump signs resolutions repealing California’s EV mandate, which many other states had adopted Click Here Here's a report where Maryland joined back in March: Headline: Governor Moore Announces Maryland Adoption of the Advanced Clean Cars II Rule to Combat the Effects of Climate Change Click Here Quotes from Md.

Governor Wes Moore today announced Maryland’s adoption of the multi-state Advanced Clean Cars II rule, a major step in the state’s acceleration to improve air quality....... The Advanced Clean Cars II rule is a vehicle emissions standard first adopted by California using its unique authority under the federal Clean Air Act. Now that California has adopted the standards, other states can follow suit...." |
