It would let the auto makers out of a portion of their Zero Emission Vehicle production requirements. California's Zero Emission Vehicle program is a success, it needs to be supported, not reduced. AB1390 has good intentions of promoting parks, diesel emission traps, and other clean air programs in communities impacted by dirty air. Instead of these good ideas being used to take away the ZEV requirements, they must be added on as additional requirements. Refinery emissions blanket communities of color and low income communities, we need to regulate these outrageous nightly attacks on our kids lungs.
Air pollution is everyone's problem.
It knows no bounds. We need to increase regulations on autos and increase clean car production. Our Coast will never be clean until refinery emissions, toxic diesel smoke, brake lining debris, oil particles, and other dirty products of the Oil Industry are reduced. These particles are washed off our streets into the rivers and Ocean, killing the natural habitat. California needs additional ZEV requirements of muzzling emissions from diesel school busses, which impact our kids.
