David Driesen, University Professor at the College of Law, was interviewed by HuffPost for the article Trump’s Assault On Auto Pollution Rules Is The Latest Salvo In A War On States’ Rights.
Driesen, who focuses on environmental law explains, that arguing that the state’s CO2 rules don’t meet the standards set out in the Clean Air Act is “just not a plausible argument.”
“California does have compelling and extraordinary conditions, there are wildfires, and if the heat goes up in California, they have more severe local air pollution exacerbated by the heat, so it just doesn’t wash,” he states.
