California regulators have withdrawn their request for federal approval of a statewide ban on diesel truck sales after 2035, saying they’ve run out of time before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.

Rather than expanding its network of light-duty hydrogen-fueling stations, California lost three stations last year, casting doubt on the state’s ability to meet a 200-station goal, a new report found.

Just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House, the Biden administration has given California permission to enforce rules that require all new cars sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035.

Waves off the California coast could provide as much as 140 TWh of electricity a year with today’s technology, but the state faces several obstacles to achieving that potential, according to a new CEC report.

California regulators approved a $35 million package of clean transportation incentives for fiscal year 2024/25, a steep drop in funding that is raising concerns about the fate of programs not funded by the package.
