House votes against ‘de facto EV mandate’
The Republican-controlled House voted, 221-197, to block a proposed EPA rule on tail-pipe emissions that could make electric vehicles the best-selling new cars and pickup trucks by 2032. The vote on Wednesday stood in contrast to the ongoing UN climate summit, where steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are under discussion.
Consider alternatives to electric vehicles, say trade groups
The Biden administration should reconsider a proposed "tail pipe" rule that is projected to make electric vehicles (EVs) the best-selling new cars and pickup trucks by 2032, said an unusual alliance of 100 petroleum, ethanol, farm, and retail groups on Tuesday. The oil industry hinted at possible litigation over what one spokesman called "a de facto ban" on gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles.
