13:14Now PlayingMinnesota’s proposed adoption of California’s ‘clean car’ emission standards through an administrative rulemaking process was met with both skepticism and praise during a joint meeting of the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy committees. Representatives of the Minnesota Pollution Control Board presented the rationale for the move to members during a virtual hearing Wednesday, January 20.
Members raised a number of concerns about the proposed change, including the higher cost to consumers, a lack of recycling programs for old batteries and bypassing the legislature in the rulemaking process. Senator Carrie Ruud, R-Breezy Point and Chair of the Environment and Natural Resources Policy Committee, pointed out that Minnesota’s large size and cold winters make electric vehicles a poor choice. Senator Jennifer McEwen, DFL-Duluth, spoke of the need to adopt cleaner car standards in response to climate change.
