The new head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is to meet on Tuesday with the California’s top air quality chief to discuss White House plans to freeze vehicle emission standards.
Andrew Wheeler, appointed two weeks ago to replace ousted Administrator Scott Pruitt, shares President Donald Trump’s determination to pare down EPA regulations and halt next-level regulations set to tighten carbon dioxide and fuel efficiency rules in 2023.
The White House is weighing proposals from EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about how to handle future CO2 emission rules, which directly affect fuel economy levels.
Mary Nichols, who chairs the California Air Resources Board, tells reporters she believes Wheeler is more practical and willing than his predecessor to make compromises. She has signaled for months a desire to find a solution that will avoid a future where emission standards in most states vary from those set by California.
