In Episode 503 of District of Conservation, Gabriella discusses to important updates relating to the EPA: the official repeal of the Biden-era CA EV mandate and rule change to Clean Power Plan 2.0.


Context on these developments: First, the Biden administration granted a Clean Air Act exemption to California to adopt CARB's Advanced Clean Cars II package mandating all new car sales by 2035 be electric. Second, the Biden administration would have forced the premature shut down of existing coal and new natural gas plants unless they were retrofitted with carbon capture technology that isn't viable yet.


Tune in to learn more about both updates!
