EPA Chief Lee Zeldin this week announced his agency is getting rid of the ‘start/stop’ technology where your car dies at every red light.
“Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it,” Lee Zeldin said.
Excerpt from Fox Business:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is targeting climate technology that automatically turns off a car’s engine when it is stopped at red lights to save fuel, a feature agency administrator Lee Zeldin said every driver “hates.”
Advocates for the technology support it as a climate-friendly initiative, while critics find it annoying and question whether it can wear down the car’s battery or engine more quickly.
Cars generally have a button allowing drivers to disable the feature.
The EPA does not require stop-start technology, but automakers that adopt it are given extra fuel economy credits.
The technology was included in 65% of vehicles in 2023, a jump from 45% in 2021, 9% in 2016 and 1% in 2012, according to the Battery Council International.
The feature can improve fuel economy by between 4% and 5%, previous EPA estimates showed. It also eliminated nearly 10 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year as of 2023, the BCI stated.

AD: While normies flock to Ozempic, people in the alternative health space are turning to what some call “Natural Ozempic.”
What is “Natural Ozempic”? It’s a slang term that’s been attributed to berberine, a plant compound being studied for its potential effects on metabolism and blood sugar support.
Like Ozempic (semaglutide), berberine has been researched for its ability to support healthy glucose metabolism.
Berberine may also support modest weight management, likely due to its effects on metabolism and insulin sensitivity—mechanisms that overlap with those targeted by GLP-1 drugs.
If you’re interested in trying berberine, there’s no better place to buy it than GlobalHealing.com. They use only the cleanest ingredients possible.
