🧵New @NHTSAGov & @EPA vehicle standards should ensure a rapid shift to low-emission/electric vehicles, critical to:
⚡️meeting climate goals
⚡️ensuring a competitive future U.S. auto industry
Strong #cleanercars standards also protect health, businesses & consumers. Here’s why:
Investors and companies, like those in the Ceres BICEP network + Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance, support strong standards ➡️ 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2035 is needed for businesses, consumers, the U.S. auto industry + the climate. #cleanercars https://t.co/ckggVkrALc
(2/2) Major businesses also support the @POTUS proposal to restore state authority: "As businesses with footprints across the country, the availability of fuel-efficient + clean vehicles in every state is important to companies in the Ceres BICEP network." https://t.co/WAyyiobl94
12 govs to Biden: All new passenger cars/light-duty trucks sold in the US should be zero-emission no later than 2035.
➡️ Reduced emissions
➡️ Jobs
➡️ Improved public health
➡️ Promotes environmental justice
➡️ Competitive auto industry

Investors write to @EPAAWheeler in opposition of a proposed aircraft GHG rule: "It will result in increased emissions and undermine the competitiveness of the U.S. aviation industry in a carbon constrained world." @EPA https://t.co/wZnHFRNJcf
"The only companies that attract capital will be the ones with detailed, specific and ambitious plans for managing the low-carbon transition."

Experts conclude "we see no economic justification" to roll back #cleanercar standards after study finds mistakes, miscalculations, cherry-picked data in #Trump@EPA's reasoning to gut the $ saving rules. @LATimes - https://t.co/tUfkclMavP
The Trump EPA plan to roll back emission standards is destructive to our nation's well-being and our economy. Read my letter to the agency https://t.co/cCmblxwgSD
