The battle over the future of gas-powered cars in the U.S. is heating up again. President Trump’s new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief, Lee Zeldin, has begun reviewing California’s pollution waivers—waivers that allowed the state to effectively ban new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035.
“We will submit it to Congress [who] will have the opportunity, through the Congressional Review Act, to make that waiver go away,” Zeldin said on Friday, standing alongside President Trump. “We will do everything in our part to help the American people to make life in America more affordable.”
