Nevada to adopt California's stricter car pollution standards, rejecting Trump rollback
Source: LA Times
Nevada’s governor on Monday announced that his state plans to adopt California’s car pollution rules, joining more than a dozen other states and pushing back against the Trump administration’s decision to weaken fuel efficiency standards.
Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak said Nevada will begin working on new regulations to increase the number of electric and zero-emission vehicles sold in the state, as well as rules to reduce air pollution and planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from cars. The changes could be years away, according to the governor’s statement, which gave 2024 as the goal for adoption.
“Now more than ever, it is critical for Nevada to continue accelerating efforts to address climate change including capturing the many benefits of sustainable transportation options for Nevadans,” Sisolak said in a statement. “Now is the time to set a new trajectory that will lead to healthier communities across the Silver State and establish Nevada as a leader in the clean transportation economy.”
The announcement comes about three months after the Environmental Protection Agency and Transportation Department released new fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, rolling back more ambitious requirements put in place in 2012 under President Obama. The change was seen as a major victory for the oil and gas industry, as it is expected to result in less efficient cars burning an additional 78 billion gallons of fuel.

Guarantee that Trump has never driven a day in his life, and he's never had to buy a Toyota, or a Hyundai, or a Nissan. 
Put an end to the taxes the oil companies place on the air we need to breath!
Thank you Governor Sisolak!
