As transportation goes electric, more stringent mileage standards will be vital in accelerating U.S. efforts to lead that shift. SAFE Chairman Admiral Dennis Blair, the former Director of National Intelligence and Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Command, encouraged increased stringency in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) virtual public hearing on revised GHG vehicle emissions rules.
In his comments, Adm. Blair stated that SAFE is in favor of revising the current rules to be as stringent as technically possible, adding that “As transportation goes electric, more stringent mileage standards will be vital in accelerating U.S. efforts to lead that shift.”
