Statement by Governor Ted Kulongoski on EPA Nationwide Extension of
Clean Car Emissions Standards 

 

(Salem) - "Today Oregonians can stand proudly as champions for clean air
and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. Now the rest of the nation is
set to take advantage of low emission vehicle rules that will help
produce cleaner, more efficient vehicles for U.S. consumers.

 

"I want to commend President Obama and the Environmental Protection
Agency for taking the long overdue action today of extending clean car
emissions standards adopted by Oregon, California and 12 other states
and applying those standards nationwide.

 

"Fighting for adoption of these standards has been a long battle, but I
am very pleased to see the leadership at the federal level pave the way
for the new federal standards and cleaner cars across the country. 

 

"I look forward to working with the Obama administration and the EPA on
our continued efforts to battle climate change and protect our
environment and natural resources."
