New EPA Regs for Heavy-Duty Truck Emissions a Win for National Security
Washington, D.C. – Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new limits on emissions from heavy-duty trucks.
In response to the proposed rule, Truman Project Executive Director Michael Breen said:
“We applaud the EPA for taking this additional step to reduce our dependence on fossil fuel and cut emissions that contribute to climate change. The national security community has long recognized the effects of climate change as “threat multipliers,” which is why the military has led the way on investing in energy efficiency and clean sources of energy. It is encouraging to see the civilian transportation infrastructure of this country playing a role in that fight.”
The Truman National Security Project unites next-generation veteran, political, and policy leaders to develop and advance strong, smart, and principled solutions to America’s global challenges.
