The Hubbard County Board opposes an effort to require car manufacturers to sell low- and zero-emission vehicles in Minnesota.
Following discussion at two of their February meetings, they passed a resolution rejecting the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) proposed “Clean Cars Minnesota Rule.”
The MPCA is considering adopting state rules that would limit the amount of greenhouse gases new cars, SUVs and pickup trucks can emit and require manufacturers to deliver more battery-powered and hybrid models in the state.
Older models or used vehicles wouldn t be subject to the new standard. Fourteen other states, including California, have adopted similar requirements.
