DeSaulnier Calls for Boycott of Vehicle Companies that Weaken Environmental Standards

March 30, 2018

Washington, D.C. – In response to news that the Trump Administration plans to undermine Obama Administration standards on vehicle efficiency regulations to address global warming, Congressman Mark DeSaulnier (CA-11) called for a boycott of any vehicle company that fails to meet California standards, which surpass Obama Administration rules, on greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency.

"I am calling for a large-scale boycott by consumers, public and private users, and pension investments of any vehicle manufacturer that fails to fulfill existing California greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency standards. Having served 10 years on the California Air Resources Board (CARB), chaired both transportation committees in the state legislature, and as a current member of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I have seen the impact of these laws on our health, our environment, and the safety of future generations. We need a coordinated effort to fight the Trump Administration and ensure we move forward, not backwards, on green technologies that will benefit our citizens, our economy, and the health of our planet," said Congressman DeSaulnier.
