Please support Delaware Sen. Tom Carper, chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee over efficiency and vehicle emission standards. The California agreement is a useful starting point that all automakers should join to fulfill the goals of the Paris climate agreement and slow the climate disruption caused by vehicle emissions.

The SUVs and trucks can just as well be electric, which would further lower emissions and help the environment. Gasoline powered vehicles should be phased out as soon as possible. If they are not offered by auto companies, no one will buy them except as used. Transportation emissions is the single biggest U.S. contributor to climate change, so changes to vehicle emissions will have a large impact on our pollution footprint. Most of the large SUVs and trucks I see are single-occupant commute vehicles, except for contractors' vehicles. There is no reason these cannot be electric, or at least high mileage vehicles.
