Gov. Newsom defends California's Clean Car Act against House attack
( — Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statement in response to the House vote that targeted California's clean vehicles program on May 1.• Newsom administration seeks Newsom said the Republican-controlled House illegally used the Congressional Review Act to attempt to repeal California's Clean Car Act waivers, which authorized California's clean car and truck program. This defied decades of precedent of these waivers not being subjected to the CRA and contradicts the non-partisan Government Accountability Office and Senate Parliamentarian, said Newsom. Trump Republicans are hellbent on making California smoggy again. Clean air didn't used to be political. In fact, we can thank Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon for our decades-old authority to clean our air. The only thing that's changed is that big polluters and the right-wing propaganda machine have succeeded in buying off the Republican Party – and now the House is using a tactic that the Senate's own parliamentarian has said is lawless. Our vehicles program helps clean the air for all Californians, and we'll continue defending it. Washington may want to cede our economy to China but California is standing by American innovation. Gov. Gavin Newsom The Newsom Administration stated the state's effort to clean its air ramped up under the previous Gov. Ronald Reagan when he established the California Air Resources Board. California's Clean Air Act goes back to the Nixon Administration, which allows the state to set the necessary standards for cleaning up some of the worst air in the country, according to Newsom. The pollution is down and the economy is up,' said Newsom. According to Newsom, the greenhouse gas emissions in California are down 20 percent since 2000. This also includes the state's GDP, which increased 78 percent in the same time. Newsom said, last year in California ran on 100 percent clean electricity for about 51 days, and with the grid running on 100 percent clean energy for some period two out of every three days. 'Although California standards have dramatically improved air quality, the state's unique geography means air quality goals still require continued progress on vehicle emissions. Five of the ten cities with the worst air pollution nationwide are in California. Ten million Californians in the San Joaquin Valley and Los Angeles air basins currently live under what is known as 'severe nonattainment' conditions for ozone. People in these areas suffer unusually high rates of asthma and cardiopulmonary disease. Zero-emission vehicles are a critical part of the plan to protect Californians.' Gov.
