An Open Letter to Sierra Club
Originally published March 16, 2017
On Wednesday, March 15th, the Trump Administration announced that it was
recalling the fuel economy rule of 2012. This announcement was met with a
flurry of frantic press releases from a whole host of "concerned" organizations.
The first one I received was from the Sierra Club. Sierra Club Executive Director
Michael Brune released the following statement:
“We need to put clean car standards in the fast lane to keep our air clean
and our climate safe. Donald Trump and the automakers are endangering the health of our children and families by abolishing life-saving vehicle
emissions protections that cut down on dangerous smog pollution and
asthma attacks.
