Republicans want you to think that you have to choose between clean air and growing our economy––but they're wrong.

The U.S. EPA rule that they are desperate to overturn would not only protect our planet, it will create jobs and strengthen the auto industry.

.U.S. EPA's clean cars rule is vital to tackling the climate crisis, saving people money, and protecting public health. But Republicans in Congress aren't interested. Let’s accelerate towards a clean energy future instead of passing this bill to stop clean cars and boost oil profits.
