Two of President Donald Trump ’s executive orders take aim at Biden administration efforts to boost electric vehicles and wind power.

The orders took aim at efforts the Biden administration had made to boost both technologies, which have in recent years gained traction in the push to decarbonize the U.S. energy market.

Advocates for electric vehicle and green energy criticized the moves.

California ’s regulation would essentially ban new gasoline-powered cars from its roads by 2032 .

Washington , New York and nine other states have adopted the California standard.

Paul Cort , a former Environmental Protection Agency attorney who now works with the environmental nonprofit Earthjustice , said he expects Trump 's order to be fought in court.
