Ohio attorney general doesn’t want California deciding which cars Americans can drive

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, along with several other attorneys general around the nation, wants the federal government to treat California like every other state when it comes to the Clean Air Act.

Yost and 15 other attorneys general recently wrote Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, urging the agency to not reinstate a California waiver under the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule that Yost said would allow the state to determine which cars could be driven throughout the country.

“This is not the United States of California. To the extent the national standards are necessary, they should be set by the federal government,” Yost said. “As a practical matter, this is not a waiver of federal regulation – it is a delegation of federal authority to a state, and an improper one at that.”

The Trump administration created a national standard for vehicle carbon emissions for model years 2021 through 2026, treating all states equal, according to a news release from Yost. The Biden administration proposed, however, California should be given a waiver from national carbon emissions standards and allowed to set its own standards.

Yost said the waiver, which was designed decades ago to allow California to manage its smog issues, has been used by the state to target issues such as fuel efficiency and global warming.

If California is allowed to create its own standards, according to the letter, car manufacturers would not create two separate fleets, but likely only one with the stricter California standards....

I don’t want California deciding what brand of any consumer product I buy, let alone what kind of car I drive. It’s bad enough that I have to see their stupid Prop.65 wrniings all over everything I buy.

Yeah, this issue has always infuriated me too. And I hate the Prop 65 ‘warnings’ just like you. ‘XXX is’ known’ to the State of Cauliflowernia to cause cancer...’ The State of Cali doesn’t ‘know’ anything except how to violate their citizens’ civil rights. They don’t know a dick from a derringer.

The Swamp could care less about Americans. The only thing it cares about, craves like an addict about , is power. Since this request gets in the way of their greedy quest it will be ignored.

California already decides that I have to be told that my car battery may cause cancer. I know; That’s why I’m not planning to eat it, idiots.

CaCaLand is not led by facists. They are commies. Same end result, by design, but different playbook. MSM and other packs of liars can dilute your protests by simply stating: “ignore him, he doesn’t even know what Facism is”. Call it by what it is, they can then totally ignore you, but not for misinformation.

California could save a lot of money by just printing stickers claiming that this product does NOT cause cancer.
