  • Starting in the 1950s, there was a push to get meat onto Americans' plates at every meal.

  • So you would have breakfast with maybe perhaps sausage offered.

  • You'd have lunch where it would be deli meat sandwiches.

  • And you'd have dinner that would center over a large cut of meat.

  • The hidden forces behind our everyday decisions.

  • That's on the TED Radio Hour from NPR.

  • Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh.

  • The House of Representatives has voted to repeal a federal waiver allowing California to set strict emission standards for cars and SUVs.

  • That comes one day after the House similarly voted to nix two California rules about heavy trucks.

  • The Senate will need to vote before the waivers would actually be repealed,

  • and there's a good reason they might not.

  • NPR's Camila Dominovsky explains.

  • California's vehicle standards, like a rule requiring all new cars to be zero emission by 2035,

  • can be followed by other states if they choose.

  • Supporters call the rules necessary for the climate and human health.

  • Critics, including some automakers, call them unrealistic and costly.

  • The Biden EPA granted California waivers so it could set those standards.

  • And two nonpartisan government entities say the House doesn't have the ability to revoke waivers.

  • through the mechanism it's using.

  • Despite that guidance, the House voted anyway.
