The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed pollution standards for cars and trucks are raising some eyebrows, particularly as it relates to timelines. Jason Marion is an environmental health science professor at Eastern Kentucky University. Marion said connecting all the dots in the report to gauge feasibility is important and there is a need for additional research. But, he said the clock continues to tick.
“But, boy the agency needs to have their foot on the accelerator on this because the climate change issue is also not going away. So, there’s a lot of challenges that we’ve ignored for a long time. So, that’s why these challenges exist and are so numerous,” said Marion.
