It’s still readable on my ipad behind the pop up. Here is a different summary. Quote A victory for Republicans and a step closer to getting a Biden administration ban on gas cars in California cancelled. FOX News is reporting that the House of Representatives voted 246-164, with 35 Democrats to roll back an Environmental Protection Agency rule that let California have emission standards stricter than the Government requires. The idea at the time was to increase sales of electric and other zero emission vehicles and to have no gas cars by 2035. Former President Biden approved the waiver for California a month before he left office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker16 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It's Ironic that the party favoring states' rights seems so fixated on taking away states' rights. Why people outside of California care so much about what California does? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinaw Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 It's not just California. Depending on how you define it, between 14-17 states, and the District of Colombia, follow the California standards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
