EPA reportedly planning to announce significant limits on tailpipe emissions to boost electric vehicle adoption.

The SEC received a record 15,000 or so comments on the rule, “more than we’ve gotten on any other role in the history of our commission,” he said.

Washington state’s cap-and-invest program imposes a statewide limit, or cap, on planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

Congressional Democrats said the agency’s proposal needs to better regulate routine gas flaring, or the process of burning excess natural gas at an oil well.

The new rules from the Environmental Protection Agency are the first update to clean air standards for trucks, vans and buses in more than 20 years.
