Director of CEI's Center for Energy and Environment Daren Bakst:
"The very idea that the federal government would try and kill off gas-powered cars should scare anyone concerned with basic freedoms in this country. It should anger Americans that it isn't Congress doing this but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which thinks it can in effect create laws on its own. The EPA's de facto electric vehicle (EV) mandate will hurt Americans, driving up prices and hurting mobility. It will especially hurt low-income households.
"The House should support the Congressional Review Act resolution rejecting this rule. It should be passed in a bipartisan manner. I commend Reps. John James (R-Mich.) and Russ Fulcher (R-Idaho) for introducing the resolution and helping to lead the fight against one of the biggest attacks on freedom in recent memory."
Research Fellow Patricia Patnode:
"EPA's de facto EV mandate represents an extreme and misguided attempt to control what Americans drive. The House of Representatives is right to push back against the EPA's regulatory overreach. Unelected bureaucrats shouldn't be able to impose costly mandates that ignore the needs of everyday Americans and dismiss market forces. The CRA resolution offers lawmakers a chance to reclaim control and stop this harmful policy."
