The Obama administration will propose the first-ever greenhouse gas emission limits for heavy trucks and buses next week.
The proposal will call for a 20 percent reduction in heat-trapping emissions from trucks’ tailpipes, according to Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Campaign….
… “What could have been a dramatic cut is instead a modest cut,” Becker said. He said he would have preferred a 35 percent reduction.
