Hi all,

It’s Representative Doris Matsui. With the Biden administration’s ambitious
goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, every opportunity to do
so must be seized.That’s why as House Sustainable Energy and Environment
Coalition (SEEC) Co-Chair, I have been unwavering in my call for the EPA to
reinstate California’s waiver to set its own vehicle pollution standards. If
the EPA reinstates the waiver, California will be able to resume setting
stricter auto emissions rules than the federal government. As the biggest state
in the country, this could dramatically reduce our overall emissions.

Reducing auto emissions has more benefits beyond combating climate change. The
exhaust from fossil-powered engines contains substances that can pose a risk to
human health. Long- term exposure to exhaust smoke can contribute to mutations
in cells that can lead to cancer. On a daily basis, exhaust can irritate the
eyes, nose, throat, and lungs – making it particularly harmful to those with
asthma and other chronic respiratory problems including children, communities
of color, and low-wealth populations.

Taking aggressive action to combat climate change in California’s car-centric
economy will be vital to lead the nation towards zero-emission vehicles.
Reinstating this waiver will also allow sixteen other states and the District
of Columbia to follow California’s lead and set their own, stronger vehicle
emissions rules and ensure that over 120 million people nationwide can realize
the benefits of reduced transportation pollution.

The Biden administration has already made good on some of its promises on
reducing air pollution. In December, the EPA announced its final rule to
increase tailpipe emissions Standards. But our work is not yet done.

We need to advance clean transportation technology, ramp up the deployment of
zero-emission electric vehicles, and make the crucial investments necessary to
protect our future. This is the time to think bigger and bolder on our climate
goals.

Now, we’re waiting on the Biden administration to take the final steps to
restore California’s Clean Air Act waiver. This is our chance to take huge
strides in reducing air pollution and support California’s leadership in clean
air policy.

But change does not come if we don’t raise our voices as one to call for
decisive action towards reducing air pollution.

Will you join me and the SEEC PAC in demanding the Biden administration take
swift action towards restoring California’s Clean Air Act waiver?
