Biden-Harris Administration Finalizes Historic Pollution Standards for Cars

Published on 25 March 2024 at 18:33

Hi, this month I chose to write about how car pollution has affects the health of others and the climate change crisis. The Biden-Harris Administration finalized the most stringent pollution standards for cars, aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.

Main Points:

1. The standards are expected to prevent 7.2 billion tons of CO2 emissions through 2055

2. Anticipated health improvements include preventing up to 2,500 premature deaths annually by 2055 and reducing incidences of heart attacks, respiratory illnesses, and asthma.

3. The net benefits to society are estimated at $99 billion per year, improving air quality

4. The rule provides flexibility for automakers to meet the standards through various technologies, including advanced gasoline vehicles, hybrids, and full battery electric vehicles.

5. The rule addresses the concerns of workers in the automotive industry and supports communities transitioning to a cleaner transportation system
