Key Vote YES on H.J. Res. 87, 88 and 89

The American Energy Alliance supports H.J. Res. 87 providing for congressional disapproval of the Clean Air Act waiver for California’s Advance Clean Trucks regulation; H.J. Res. 88 providing for congressional disapproval of the CAA waiver for California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulation; and  H.J. Res. 89 providing for congressional disapproval of the CAA waiver for California’s regulations on medium to heavy duty trucks and other engines.

California’s special waiver from certain Clean Air Act provisions was created to give the state the ability to address specific state level atmosphere issues. It was not authority to make the California Air Resources Board into a super regulator who can set regulatory policy for the entire country in defiance of Congress and the Constitution. These three regulations are about imposing California’s policy preferences on all Americans. Congress should emphatically reject this unwarranted and unconstitutional overreach.

YES votes on H.J. Res. 87, 88 and 89 are votes in support of free markets and affordable energy. AEA will include the votes in its American Energy Scorecard.
