In the absence of being able to make that
policy call at this time on dangerous interference, what we're doing as an interim measure is working bottom up to see how aggressive can we be in finding a pathway to low - carbon power generation from coal, because that accounts for more than 50 percent of
emissions; how aggressive can we be in transitioning to a much greater diversity of fuel supply than petroleum, and
vehicle technology, and that's 20 percent of
emissions; and then what can we do much more rapidly to halt deforestation, which is 20 percent of
emissions.

It has undoubtedly been a great
vehicle for raising Judith's political profile and enabling her advocacy for laissez faire
policies on carbon
emissions.
NRDC favors more economical and environmentally sustainable approaches to reducing both U.S. and global carbon
emissions, focusing on the widest possible implementation of end - use energy - efficiency improvements, and on
policies to accelerate the commercialization of clean, flexible, renewable energy technologies — and use them to power our
vehicles and homes.
European countries continue to assess more aggressive
policies that favor or mandate zero -
emission vehicles to move away from fossil fuels for transportation.
The four key differences are: 1) unlike the Energy
Policy Conservation Act (EPCA), the CAA [Clean Air Act] allows for the crediting of direct
emission reductions and indirect fuel economy benefits from improved air conditioners, allowing for greater compliance flexibility and lower costs; 2) EPCA allows Flexible Fuel
Vehicle (FFV) credits through model year 2019, whereas the EPA standard requires demonstration of actual use of a low carbon fuel after model year 2015; 3) EPCA allows for the payment of fines in lieu of compliance but the CAA does not; and 4) treatment of intra firm trading of compliance credits between cars and light trucks categories.50
While US
emissions are decreasing slightly — both as a result of the administration's
policies on renewable energy and
vehicle fuel economy standards and because of sharply lower natural gas prices that have reduced coal use for electricity generation — it is unlikely that without additional regulation or legislation that the US will meet its 2020 target.
Provincial and territorial measures to minimize air
emissions include transportation programs and
policies such as motor
vehicle inspections and scrappage programs.
Research shows that new
policies can drive efficient
vehicle use even further, lowering
emissions and saving consumers money.
Projections of U.S. transportation energy use indicate that better
vehicle efficiency and low - carbon fuels will not be sufficient to reach sectoral
emissions reduction goals if travel demand grows at pre-recession rates, so managing demand will be a key ingredient of climate
policy for the sector.

Scenario 3, the most ambitious case, assumes extensions of
policies to implement emerging technologies, such as higher

We have purchase incentives,
policies to access the HOV lanes, additional support programs for low - income and disadvantaged communities, and furthermore, the California utilities are making headway in installing charging infrastructure through EV programs — all to achieve the Governor's goal of putting 1.5 million zero
emission vehicles on the road by 2025.
To help meet that goal, California is implementing numerous measures, including standards for renewable energy, a
policy to scale up the use of clean fuels, requirements and incentives to increase the use of electric
vehicles, and a flexible market - based cap on carbon
emissions that creates economic incentives for major carbon polluters to cut their
emissions.
The 2007 Integrated Energy
Policy Report further noted that to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, California must begin reversing the current 2 percent annual growth rate of
vehicle miles traveled.

The administration has been meeting for weeks with California representatives and car manufacturers to broker a deal in which the state could ascertain the ability to regulate auto
emissions, when Carol Browner (assistant to the climate on energy and climate) began advocating a national set of rules: «The hope across the administration is that we can have a unified national
policy when it comes to cleaner
vehicles,» Browner said, according to the Washington Post.
Vehicle efficiency improvements via effective standards and
policies could reduce annual CO2 e
emissions from the US, China, and the EU by 1.3 Gt at a savings of about $ 135 billion per year by 2030.
The most effective
policy for reducing CO2
emissions and oil imports from transportation is to spur the development and sale of more efficient
vehicles with strict efficiency standards while increasing the cost of driving with strong fuel taxes.
To dramatically cut
emissions from this sector, a comprehensive solution must include improved
vehicle fuel efficiency, smart growth
policies that reduce
vehicle miles traveled, and clean fuel alternatives.
Zero -
Emission Vehicles in California — To significantly reduce both GHG
emissions and air pollution from the transportation sector, California's state agencies, including the California Energy Commission, have developed a series of
policies and actions to encourage the use of zero -
emission vehicles (ZEVs).
By removing the most polluting
vehicles from the roads, which account for 75 % of all pollution from cars (while only accounting for 25 % of all miles driven) according to Blinder, and disbursing cash to low - income households, the
policy would help to both dramatically reduce
emissions and alleviate income inequality.
Transportation
policies that favor electric
vehicles or even self - driving cars, for example, could someday lower
emissions; in the energy sector, an increased focus on biofuels or hydrogen production could do the same; and in agriculture, slow release fertilizers could reduce nitrous oxide
emissions.
That is why USCAP has called for a program that combines a
emissions caps with complementary
policies and measures to speed the deployment of big change technologies in critical areas like power generation,
vehicle design, and new fuels.
