Biden admin set to finalize major gas car crackdown over warnings from automakers, energy industry
MSN ^ | 03/18/2024 | Thomas Catenacci

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.

Correct. And in the FoxNews article, it points to this related article from last year. Basically it's the EPA rules reported on last year, only now it's past the talking stage and into the implementation stage. The regulations will add new fees on ICE cars to the point that EV's will be cheaper. They'll practically force you to get an EV.

The good news is that they go into effect in 2027. So we have an election to stop it. If we can fight the fraud.

Prohibiting any and all persons that are or ever were a Government Employee from using, owning or possessing any ICE Powered type of vehicle, we could get somewhere.


Better yet, any non-electric thing. Stoves, furnaces, water heaters, or use of any airplane, boat, train. Or steel, plastic, asphalt, etc.

“...appease the leftist large donor base that are the climate alarmists...”

No, it’s much bigger than that, Mr. Isaac. The real “base” is not “climate alarmists,” but the self-styled WEF Masters of the Universe who are using the climate SCAM to grab power and money and crush little people.

Ford and GM are losing a crap ton of money on their EV’s and I don’t see that changing any time soon. At some point they may say, we’re losing our a$$ on EV’s so go ahead and fine us for not selling enough EV’s, six of one half a dozen of another. When we go bankrupt then no one will have jobs.

Meanwhile, in the free(er) State of Texas, this is the last year to require emissions testing of automobiles.

My guess is “the government” will take over all trains and railroads...at some point..and exempt itself and its employees drom the rules.
Same with all air travel.
Only government officials..and those they except..will fly.

Anti-capitalist leanings are in evidence, of the fascist sort. Allow ownership but control it. Corporatism, really.

Nobody voted for this. The market has broadcast a robust “NO” to EVs. Only the “climate” nazis want it, and most of them are complete idiots without two braincells to rub together.

And your point would be .... ??

It isn’t F-Joe Biden doing this; it’s a bunch of busybody unelected bureaucrats in the weaponized USEPA doing it. Besides, we recently learned that F-Joe Biden loves the VROOM-VROOM sounds of the IC engines. Somebody should tell the baby boy that battery-powered cars can’t do that.

Doesn’t everyone get it?
THEY..will will be exempt from any rules or regulations they put on the people.
THEY will own multiple mansions.. private jets..eat steak..drive gas guzzlers..
THEY are not attempting to save the planet..that’s a laugh...they are attempting to grab complete control.
THEY still need peasants to do the heavy lifting..so they will let you live ..like it’s 1899!

Easy case for the courts. Simply ask that Congress (stupidly) gave the Executive Branch so much leeway to regulate ‘harmful pollutants’ did they (Congress) also intend to allow the Executive Branch to outlaw petroleum vehicles?

If not, then kill the mandate and tell Biden to first get a vote from Congress if he wants to take that step.

I fail to note the authority granted Congress to ‘bequeath’ any such authority to begin.

Always start @ STEP 1 (’By what authority’), instead of conceding such via debating+ from STEP 2+

Why hasn’t the SC released the Chevron decision? If that goes the way it should Traitor Joe won’t be able to do this. The fact they haven’t released it makes me nervous. If it goes the wrong way we will know what misery really feels like.
