@lasmogguy.bsky.social offers two ways California can counteract the Trump Administration’s destructive moves to thwart the state’s clean air progress. 1️⃣ Use the state budget to replenish a popular program that helps companies adopt nonpolluting trucks 2️⃣ Pass the California Clean Skies Act

Etransit buses are just better than methane burning buses for riders. Took a SM big blue gillig ebus & it was quiet & clean. Took a methane burner back & it was loud & funky smelling Now don’t get me wrong - we need to keep using combustion buses until the end of useful life but ebuses are better.

The main claim was this emissions rule covering equipment like boilers is preempted by EPCA. Several organizations, including People’s Collective for Environmental Justice, Industrious Labs, and Sierra Club, intervened. Court determined that rules are not preempted.
