GW of gas capacity will no longer be needed as early as 2026. While there were plenty of gas plant retirements in the first half of the 2010s, there haven’t been many in recent years due primarily to reliability concerns. However, the IRP modeling shows that, as California builds more and more clean resources, roughly 2.7

The EPA is getting ready to finalize a critical regulation limiting emissions of smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NO X ) and soot (or particulate matter, PM 2.5 ) from new heavy-duty trucks. State regulations have strict inducements, so the degree to which EPA aligns with such parameters is important. Limits on mal-maintenance/tampering.

Because of California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulation adopted last fall , all automakers will have to achieve ZEV sales above 30% by model year 2026 and be on the way to 100% ZEV sales by 2035. It’s vital that this transition happens rapidly, both to reduce the amount of harmful air pollution and to limit damaging climate change.

Even when accounting for pollution from electricity generation, electric trucks can significantly reduce air pollution and get us on a better track to addressing climate change. Some of the same researchers are currently working on a comparable study for the United States and their preliminary results are similar.
