What Does Project 2025 Say?

On November 5, 2024, the United States Elected Donald J. Trump to a second term. The day after that, his allies gleefully admitted that Project 2025 was their – and his – agenda the entire time.

This is what we’re up against.

“Revoke the special waiver granted to California by the Biden Administration. California has no valid basis under the Clean Air Act to claim an extraordinary or unique air quality impact from carbon dioxide emissions, and EPCA is clear that under no circumstances may a state agency regulate fuel economy in place of DOT. The federal government should therefore exercise its preemptive authority over CARB and take all steps necessary to invalidate any inconsistent fuel economy requirements imposed by CARB, including its ban on sales of internal combustion engines.”
Citation: Project 2025, Section 3.10: Department of Transportation, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, page 661, paragraph 1
Context:

California has historically received special waivers from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act, allowing the state to set its own, more stringent vehicle emissions standards. This was due to California’s unique air pollution challenges, particularly in cities like Los Angeles. The waiver system enables California to set stricter limits on greenhouse gas emissions and regulate sales of certain types of vehicles, such as internal combustion engine (ICE) cars.

Why on earth would you care if a state is actually doing BETTER than government standards? And what would stop California from continuing “unofficially” with their own standards? This is performative nonsense.

Did California ban sales of cars with internal combustion engines? No, Furchtgott-Roth is being deliberately misleading about that with her having implied that it’s a current thing that’s in place right now. CARB did mandate that all new cars sold in CA should have zero tailpipe emissions by 2035, which will be an effective ban on fully gas-powered vehicles for new car sales in the state at that time. The policy won’t take existing cars off the road. 11 other states have announced plans to follow suit. [Source]
