(The Center Square) – Will the Biden administration’s latest energy regulations force Americans out of gas vehicles and into more expensive electric cars? Lawmakers in the U.S. House held a hearing Wednesday tackling that key question.

The hearing, held by the Oversight Committee’s Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Subcommittee, focused on newly proposed Environmental Protection Agency tailpipe emission rules that the federal agency itself called “ambitious.”

The EPA projects the proposed regulation would mean that fully electric vehicles make up two thirds of all new "light duty" and 46% of new medium-duty vehicle sales by 2032.

The EPA, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, said in a news release that the rules would improve air quality and would avoid “nearly 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions.” The rule changes still faces a lengthy public comment and approval process as well as avoiding an override from Congress after it is implemented.

“By proposing the most ambitious pollution standards ever for cars and trucks, we are delivering on the Biden-Harris Administration’s promise to protect people and the planet, securing critical reductions in dangerous air and climate pollution and ensuring significant economic benefits like lower fuel and maintenance costs for families,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said

I’ve told you truth. The facts are on the table. The common sense actually shows WHY there IS a chip shortage. All you have to do is be willing to THINK.

Which you aren’t.

Clearly you are a waste of time. Goodbye. Good luck. Good riddance.

You don’t have to be rude just because you lost an argument.

Look, many have been slayed by the wit and wisdom of ‘ol Sarcazmo, its not just you. I wish TexasGurl was still around. You two could get together commiserate over a Bud Light.

I just have the ability to sniff out reds. Is it a curse, a gift? Who knows. I sure take a lot of online abuse for it.

Essentially, they kid themselves that they are gods.

They can't win in the end, but how much damage will they do on the way down?

This word you keep using...”fact”. I do not think it means what you think it means.
