The Biden administration is expected this week to finalize highly anticipated regulations targeting gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions, considered the tip of the spear in its efforts to electrify the transportation sector.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is slated to issue the final rulemaking — which officials have boasted will incentivize greater adoption of electric vehicles (EV), but which opponents have criticized as a de facto mandate — as soon as Wednesday, industry sources told Fox News Digital. The regulations, a key part of President Biden's climate agenda, would ultimately force automakers to more rapidly expand electric options in their fleets beginning in a matter of years. "It certainly won't do anything to improve human health. It won't do anything to reduce pollution," American Energy Institute president and CEO Jason Isaac, who has researched the EV market, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "We've proven in this country that we're already a world leader in clean air. All it's going to continue to do is push the costs of electric vehicles on to purchasers of internal combustion engine vehicles."
"This is purely being done for campaign reasons — to really appease the leftist large donor base that are the climate alarmists that are driving this movement towards really what is a forced energy transition, which is just increasing the cost of everything," Isaac added.

“Why can’t we admit we have a central-planning, marxist government?”
Because we never voted on it; there isn’t a demarcation you can point to. It’s been gradual, over 70 years.
Gramski wrote the basic plan. Other marxists have been carrying it out.
Slowly.
We’re at the tipping point, though. The point of no return. November 5th is for all the marbles. They know it; only a handful of Rs do.
Not true. Safety inspections are out but emissions are still required, as I understand.
Two ballots. Preferably.
That is correct for 17 counties in Texas unfortunately. The 17 Texas counties that require emissions inspections will still mandate annual tests regardless of the bill becoming law that ended the requirement for annual safety inspections. These are Brazoria, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, El Paso, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Johnson, Kaufman, Montgomery, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Travis and Williamson counties.
And again the EPA will need to be slapped down for imposing laws when they are not authorized to make laws. Sick of this routine over and over and over again. There is no rest, there is no finality. It’s endless attempts to destroy our rights. It’s exhausting.
Those counties overrule State law?
AG Paxton, do your thing!
