Biden looks to boost EV sales with plan to cut vehicle emissions
"WASHINGTON, April 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Wednesday proposed sweeping emissions cuts for new cars and trucks through 2032, a move it says could mean two out of every three new vehicles automakers sell will be electric within a decade.
The proposal, if finalized, represents the most aggressive U.S. vehicle emissions reduction plan to date, requiring 13% annual average pollution cuts and a 56% reduction in projected fleet average emissions over 2026 requirements. The EPA is also proposing new stricter emissions standards for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks through 2032."
As Daniel Greenfield writes, "Biden Bans 53% of Americans From Buying Cars; The new poor will be anyone who can’t afford an electric car."
So he's going to use draconian measures to make sure all gas-powered cars flunk emissions tests so that their owners are forced to spend $50,000 they can't afford on electric vehicles they don't want? Can we have some pushback by lawmakers, please? I sure hope these measures never take effect, because otherwise we're all going to be begging for money on skid row.
(Meanwhile, Kevin O'Leary wants to build his own oil refinery here. I'm all for it. Maybe he can also build his own gas-powered auto manufacturing plants here as well, so we can keep on driving!)
