“In anticipation of a second Donald Trump administration, which would have likely thwarted their effort to phase out the sales of big diesel trucks, California regulators withdrew waiver and authorization requests that were pending approval from the Environmental Protection Agency. The withdrawal grants President Trump an early victory against California, as the two are expected to clash over emissions standards and climate policies. The California Air Resources Board announced last week that it’s continuing to improve the state’s air quality and reduce harmful pollutants with other programs but has withdrawn four requests it had submitted to the EPA, including one to phase out sales of new diesel-powered semitrailers and buses by 2036 in California.” (01/22/25)
