This will not end well.

[central_va]

Sick the DOGe on them!!!

[rktman]

Gavin can be the gas czar.

[central_va]

The EPA, so how how many divisions do they have?

[teeman8r]

this surpasses the EPAs authority.

per the constitution outside government’s reach.

pursuit of happiness and all

[brownsfan]

The EPA will have new priorities starting 1/20/2025.

[SpaceBar]

The only thing the EPA protects is authoritarian top-down government.

[TiGuy22]

I thought SCOTUS decided this year that regulatory agencies, such as the EPA, cannot make law...???

[Paladin2]

The EPA needs to stop the BLM and the NFS from putting all of that smoke into the atmosphere every wildfire season.

[vivenne]

The EPA does not have that authority (and the EPA is filled with hand-picked, extremely radical, gas/oil hating activists) to dictate what can and can’t be done by a state. These are not unbiased govt employees (thank you Obama). Normal people can not work at the EPA b/c it is too insane.

[vivenne]

And the Chevron case.

[Red Badger]

Let them.

The only way to defeat a liberal is to give them everything they want....................

[napscoordinator]

I hope trump lets it ride. The only way they will learn from their stupidity is through hard life experiences.

Not good enough. I want them to ban even mere POSSESSION of a gas vehicle, by Jan 1, 2025

[johniegrad]

If the voters of a state elect officials who want to ban the sale of something in that state, shouldn’t they be able to do that no matter how stupid it is?

[FlipWilson]

Under what statutory authority?

[wildcard_redneck]

Perhaps ICE car owners in states that refuse to license them can turn to the federal government for cheap registration and plates?

[Paladin2]

Add gasoline and Diesel engines to the 2nd Amendment.

[FlipWilson]

Exactly- Chevron Deference is dead. But it was so engrained that these agencies just don’t get it, are revolting, or are just in denial.

[Dead Corpse]

I’m STILL not finding a line item in Art 1 Sec 8 that gives the FedGov the power to have an EPA to begin with...
