Obama To Reverse Bush’s Policy on State Fuel Economy Standards!

President Obama will push for the E.P.A. to allow states to set higher fuel economy standards than the current Federal standards. The Bush administration had not allowed stricter standards than those set by Congress in 2007.

“Just days into office, President Obama is showing America and the world that he will lead our country in a bold new direction to protect the environment and fight global warming,” said Frances Beinecke, Natural Resources Defense Council president.
