It is time for our state to adopt the Minnesota Clean Cars Standards! Like 14 other states that have already adopted the updated emissions standards we can be a leader in environmental stewardship. We can step up from the lax federal standards to the more responsible Clean Cars Initiative.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has proposed the adoption of the Standards under the rule-making authority granted to it by the legislature. An administrative law judge is currently holding hearings to gather public input. Everyone is invited to take part in that process.
Folks who do not understand the effects of climate change use misinformation and scare tactics to undermine support for the Standards. The Standards do not require auto dealers to sell electric vehicles. Instead, the focus is on mandates and incentives for auto manufacturers, many of whom are already on board. For example, GM has made a public commitment to go all-electric for new sales by 2035.
