  • How the US cleared the air in smog filled cities is a 50+ yrs story of innovation, policies, and steady progress.The Trump administration must stay the course.

The article "The Road to Cleaner Cars: Why US Progress Must Not Stall" by Margo Oge, published on Forbes, discusses the critical need for the United States to continue advancing its automotive emissions standards. Oge highlights the historical context of the US leading in vehicle emissions reduction, which has significantly improved air quality and public health. However, she warns that recent policy shifts, including potential rollbacks of fuel efficiency standards, could jeopardize these gains. The piece emphasizes the importance of electric vehicles (EVs) in meeting future emissions targets, noting that while EV adoption is growing, the transition needs to accelerate. Oge argues for sustained government support through incentives, infrastructure development, and stringent regulations to ensure that the US does not fall behind in the global race towards cleaner transportation. She stresses that without continued progress, the US risks not only environmental degradation but also economic disadvantages as other nations push forward with their own green automotive technologies.
