Dear Administration Officials, Please accept these 26,929 public comments from members and online activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), calling on the Biden administration to heed our growing calls for major climate action by going bigger on clean car and fuel economy standards before it's too late. We applaud your efforts to cut back on U.S. vehicle emissions and chart a course towards a future with net-zero emissions from transportation, but we are afraid they don't go far enough. The new standard allows too many giveaways, or "credits," to the automobile industry, which could cut short our carbon pollution reductions by a large margin. Furthermore, your proposed rules deliver fewer carbon pollution reductions and fuel savings than the Obama-era standards. We applaud President Biden's executive order mandating that 50% of vehicle sales be zero-emission vehicles by 2030. Please adopt at least EPA's Alternative #2 and a stronger fuel economy standard to drive much-needed short-term cuts in emissions and put us on the road to the goal of reaching 100% net-zero vehicle sales by 2035. We implore you to heed the dire warnings of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's new report and strengthen clean car and fuel economy standards to ensure that our country can reach its climate goals. Thank you!
