International Energy Agency data visualization of global electric car sales from 2014-2024. Electric car sales increased to over 17 million worldwide in 2024.
The @nytimes.com's "War in Iran Triggers Chaos in Global Oil Market" explored how the world has changed since the 70s but failed to mention electric cars. EVs now make up over a quarter of car sales worldwide and is a key technology reducing global dependency on oil. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/p...
What if I told you that Transportation is the highest-polluting sector of the American economy?
Now what if I told you that ~100% of that is from oil?
Now what if I further told you that we can do something about it but mostly aren't even trying?

Despite overwhelming public opposition, the Trump administration is bulldozing forward with their proposal to repeal the #EndangermentFinding and roll back the clean vehicle standards. This will allow cars & trucks to spew destructive pollution for decades to come. www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...
Trump just canceled $1.5 billion in funding in states that didn't vote for him for projects like electric vehicles and buses that would save lives and reduce costs.
This is just the latest reckless move by a vindictive administration that does not even pretend to serve the American people.

Thank you @markey.senate.gov, @dorismatsui.bsky.social, @davids.house.gov for leading this Congressional letter with 80 signers opposing Trump's attack on common-sense fuel economy standards. These standards save families money at the pump & reduce toxic air pollution.
