Seems to me that such orders can be challenged in Federal court.
“Mr. Biden began the process of rescinding...”
MR. Biden? Evedently not yet a Precedent Bidet!
Zero emissions?
Does that include the electric companies?
I can only think of two good things about all this.
1. Biden is a senile old fool and people will naturally see his deficiencies, as they always did in the past.
2. Kamala is visibly weird and people will not support her, either.
We’d have way fewer emissions if we just used Nuclear power.
But worldwide Communism doesn’t want that much juice in the economy.
zero emission electric vehicles????
and tell us again: How is electricity made? What percent of electricity is even possible through solar and wind? The answer is a low percent is possible and the reliability is shaky. Coal, oil and gas will be used to generate electricity for many, many years to come.
Given a free choice, knowledge and experience, the vast majority of consumers prefer vehicles with internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles are short range, expensive, have huge quality issues and if ever widely deployed will be an enviormental nightmare. Also if you follow Tesla closely, there is the impression that not only will that company never really be profitable but Elon Musk himself is beginning to be disenchanted by the whole EV craze.
In my state, electric cars are powered by coal or natural gas. Just sayin’...
I wonder how many people know that modern diesel trains are electric?
A free people will select what is best for them. Technology that adds value is quickly adopted even when the price is high and promises are in the future. Technology that does not add value is dropped by consumers and goes away.
Are consumers freely adopting electric cars? Absolutely not. They are the equivalent of those silly stand-up two wheeled people movers, the Segway.
Without government forcing electric cars on people, and banning internal combustion engines electric cars would have a similar market market penetration as steam powered cars.
If the power of force is required to make a technology change, the one simple fact is that the technology is a step backwards.
This short Prager University video explains why electric cars are not the wave of the future except in the irrational minds of the Green New Dealers.
We need to push stories like the one I saw on smalldeadanimals.com about the environmental disaster that mining for the rare earth minerals causes. “Make the enemy live up to it’s own principles”.

Subsidies for the rich who can afford an electric car to enrish the wealthiest people on earth. YAY BIDEN.
California tried this once before. It mandated 10% of all vehicles sold in CA must be all electric starting with the 2000 model year. I worked for GM at the time, and even spent some time working on this car. GM spent over $2 billion developing the GM EV and putting it into production. It was state-of-the-art for that era. At the last minute, CA realized the law was a total bust and repealed the law. A couple of years later GM went bankrupt. I’m quite sure GM could have avoided bankruptcy had it been able to keep the $2 billion. I, alone, lost over $1 million in the bankruptcy. Others lost much more.
Greenies call those of us ‘deniers’, who dismiss the fantasy of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming. I call the fools who believe it ‘Truth Deniers’.
A few months ago I read an article from an auto industry analyst. He wrote that because of the European and Japanese requirements and quotas that we would eventually move to EVs over the next ten years. He wrote that the large automakers were not going to be able to afford two production lines focused on two drive trains.
Eventually, we will be moving electric for everything but specialty gas powered cars.
It doesn’t make me happy, but it puts the evolution into perspective.
