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.

Gas companies must not be worried about electrification. We have had four new gas stations go in in the last few years, one just two weeks ago.
In 1970, I could get 50 gallons of gasoline for $10.
Today that same $10 will barely get me 3 gallons.
see what happens when the goobers try to enforce it.
Anyone want to bet they will institute pollution controls on used cars? Like emissions testing on a national basis? If you can’t afford the car, the tabs, the insurance, and to keep it “govt approved”, take the bus or subway where you will be killed by the “locust army” of Revelation.
Anyone else figured out who the “Locust Army” is? Watch locusts devour a field, then watch the blacks race through a store on their “party path”. The next President needs to outlaw rap music, with incendiary words, music and tone, it is an existential threat to Western Civilization.
Voting doesn’t matter to our “RULERS”. They will do what they want, and ignore the angry mobs, until they tire of the noise. Then the mass arrests will begin.
This is exactly how they killed big tobacco.
Why is anyone surprised?
With the power to Tax, comes the power to destroy....
It won’t work, however.
The PPI numbers went through the roof last week, and that represents a lag in inflation, which will show up right in the nick of time.
Don’t get in between a mom and the grocery cart for her kids.
It’s worse than that and people of Eastern Europe are made of sterner stuff than pussificated America. (And they weren’t even armed to the teeth!)

Guns are worthless, if there is no will to use them.
Heck, you can’t even convince some of the people on this platform of that reality. They still believe that they live in the country they were born into, and that it is still the land of the free & home of the brave.
What if that doesn't happen? What then? When do we finally go nuclear before it is too late?
If even one major US automaker announced that they were going to shut down in 60 days because of this then it would put a stop to this garbage.
I hope all the UAW goons peeps get their heads screwed on straight. What hath Biden wrought?
Well it sure has gone up in the last two weeks. 3.27 right now. Last week it was 3.17
I was expecting the increase. Summer blend must have started.
[rap music, with incendiary words, music and tone, it is an existential threat to Western Civilization.]
Certainly no one is the better for listening to any of it.
Somebody posted a video here, long ago, of some rappers doing their thing and featured is a boy maybe 7 years old.
And they’re already poisoning his brain. SMH
I can’t remember which “group” it was.
Sure.....gas prices will be artificially inflated just to be reduced at a convenient time before the election so biden can claim a win......and idiots nationwide will swallow it hook, line and sinker.
It’s almost as if Joe is being controlled BY Trump to do just the worst things to be rejected...
Bear in mind that all this is BY EXECUTIVE ORDER not by Congressional debate and vote. Explain how this is a product of a 'free' society! [:^C
VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT.
MAGA !!!
China s plan to destroy the US is working perfectly. This is just one leg, of hundreds.
Force America to screw itself.
China gets richer; Americans get poorer. And generations of our kids get the bill. And we’ll have cars that don’t work.
Insidious.
