Statement re: Trump Administration’s Emission Standards Rollbacks

August 2, 2018

“The Trump administration’s roll-back of tailpipe pollution standards is a reckless assault on people already struggling with poor air quality and the impacts of our changing climate.

The following response to the Trump administration lowering of emission standards can be attributed to Conor Bambrick, Air & Energy Director at Environmental Advocates NY.

“The Trump administration’s roll-back of tailpipe pollution standards is a reckless assault on people already struggling with poor air quality and the impacts of our changing climate. It will only serve to line the pockets of big oil at the expense of American consumers and anyone who wants to breathe clean air. New York State should take every action to fight this dangerous proposal—including accelerating efforts to modernize our transportation system by moving New York off fossil fuels.”
