Another development with multi-state implications involves electric vehicles. Under the Clean Air Act, California has the unique ability to set its own standards for tailpipe emissions from new vehicles, including greenhouse gases. Other states can then piggyback on California’s efforts. Oregon seems likely to do so soon.

Together with other modes of transportation, our vehicles emit the most heat-trapping gases in the US economy: 28 percent, followed closely by the electricity sector. However, these policies fall short of our goals of decarbonizing the economy by 2050, mostly because the incentives expire in the early 2030’s.
