"President Joe Biden further accelerated the nation’s switch to electric vehicles by announcing two proposed federal rule changes aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses and other pollutants in motor vehicle emissions.
The changes, announced April 12, would affect virtually all gasoline-powered vehicles on U.S. highways, would save consumers an estimated $12,000 in fuel and maintenance costs over the life of a vehicle, and avoid almost 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions through 2055, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The move aims to further the president’s goal of having 50 percent of all new cars and light trucks and 30 percent of new medium- and heavy-duty trucks sold in 2030 be zero-emission vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered zero-emission vehicles.
The EPA estimates that approval of these rules would result in 67 percent of new passenger vehicles and light trucks would be EVs by 2032, along with 50 percent of busses, 35 percent of short-haul freight tractors, and 25 percent of long-haul freight tractors.
Critics have claimed that the move will increase the price of new cars and was made without consideration of the ability of the nation’s supply chain to meet this demand.
The Biden administration has spent some $31 billion on the development of so-called clean transportation over the last two years, including the development of a network of EV charging stations, improving the supply chain for materials needed to produce EV batteries, and making loans to companies manufacturing EVs and components in the United States.
Meanwhile, American car manufacturers and a number of states have been voluntarily moving the market toward electric-powered vehicles.
General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis announced in 2021 that they would aim to reach EV sales of at least 40 percent of all new vehicle sales by 2030.
The rule change comes 10 months after six major automakers pledged to stop selling gas and diesel-powered cars worldwide by 2040.
In November 2021, Ford, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Jaguar Land Rover pledged to stop selling diesel-powered cars worldwide by 2040.
In 2022, the state of Washington followed California in announcing a ban on the sale of new gasoline-powered cars in the state by 2035.
Washington enacted a law in 2020 to follow California’s vehicle emissions standards. Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington D.C. have also adopted California’s vehicle emission standards.
GOP Reaction
Republican lawmakers immediately criticized the announcement.
“First President Biden came for our gas stoves. Now he wants to ban the cars we drive,” said Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
“His misguided policies are hurting American families while helping China. The president’s disastrous energy transition is making us more reliant on our enemies while driving up prices for Americans. The ‘electrification of everything’ is not a solution. It’s a road to higher prices and fewer choices.”
“Today, the Biden administration made clear it wants to decide for Americans what kinds of cars and trucks we are allowed to buy, lease, and drive,” Sen. Shelly Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) wrote on Twitter.
She added that the Biden administration “did not consider that the average price of an electric vehicle was roughly $65,000 last year, more than the household income of 46 percent of American families.
Auto Industry
Automakers around the world have announced plans to invest $1.2 trillion in creating EVs by 2030, according to the Alliance for Innovative Innovation. Yet even that may not be enough to meet the aggressive goals set by the Biden administration.
The number of charging stations is currently insufficient to meet demand, the Alliance noted in an April 6 statement. Of the nation’s 3,100 counties, 39 percent had no chargers installed as of 2022, and 63 percent had five or fewer.
Minerals needed to supply the battery market may also be in short supply, according to the Alliance. North America is projected to produce only about 3.5 percent of the supply needed by 2030, which could increase dependence on China if the situation is not altered, the statement said.
Automakers are committed to the shift to EVs, the Alliance stated, but how fast that shift will happen largely depends on factors outside their control.
“The question isn’t whether it can be done, it’s how fast can it be done … and how fast will depend almost exclusively on having the right policies and market conditions in place to achieve the shared goal of a net zero carbon automotive future,” the group stated."

Personally, I plan to violate as many federal laws (that punish people without any regard to someone being harmed) as possible regarding my personal vehicle.
I have no respect whatever for the EPA or any other federal agency.
I do not consent to be your slave, looting scum.

I'm thinking if he wins "they" will try to kill him this time.
Before Trump they never lost control of the Narrative. It would behoove any trying to follow the madness to thinQ outside the Box. Btw no Justice till the election fraud is over turned.
If deep state controls the patsy they can try to control the ongoing narrative,
perhaps blaming (non-existent) right wing domestic terrorists?
War room is doing a deep dive on the patsy right now. He is allegedly a First Class IT guy from Massachusetts Air National Guard (ANG), Otis Air Force Base. Of the hundreds of problems with the official government narrative is:
> Otis AFB was closed by Bill Clinton in the early 1990's as part of the enormous base closures. (I was working at Hanscom AFB at the time, we were very concerned, but we dodged the axe).
Otis AFB is a ghost town. There are still buildings there, it is still government property. You still need permission to be there. The gates are locked.
My group got permission to run RF and RADAR experiments there in 2012. The staff housing is crumbling away due to neglect. But there are a couple of the larger structures that look abandoned, (no cars) but are clearly being maintained. No weeds in the parking lot, clean windows. Street lights still come on at night.
> This first Class whatever is 21 years old and who's classification is one step up from green recruit. The Mass ANG has no conceivable need for intelligence of any kind about (Nazi-occupied) Ukraine.
> His Daddy is seeeyeaye.
> There is no way on heaven or earth the grunndoon of a grunndoon of a grunndoon is going to have access to the highest level of actionable intelligence from a ANG base... Specifically one that has been officially closed for more than 30 years.
Forget the 21-year old patsy they sent 50 armed troops to arrest (not before calling the mockingbird media) (film at 11).
There must be a reason this information was leaked. It baffles me, because what this says is we have been lied to by every newspaper, tv, radio station, every branch of the government.... everyone. Liars one and all. Every official mouthpiece of the government has lied... about everything.
If this was an official leak, it would like they intentionally bathed in an open sewer and now want a big sloppy kiss.
Something is not adding up here.
The entire corrupt system must go.
DC. NIFO
combust would be quite a challenge - unless the free market was allowed to solve it.
(Of course, the free market wouldn't be forcing EV's on the customers.)
If government sets the standard, it should be tried first in D.C. with bureaucrats doing the transfers.
TraitorJoe and the Hoe, have got to go!
When the Russians parade captured US solders in front of cameras, all hell is going to break loose. In more then one way.
Now if things go completely sideways and breaking the law is impossible because there is no law........then it’s an Obrez’....when you need to punch a fist sized hole in something 3’ away AND set it’s clothes on fire at the same time. Accept no substitute. ;)
I have the official electrical code book: era 1928. Standard practice was to wrap the branch circuit wire around the feeder circuit, (5 wraps) coat with a apply a solder flux, solder, thoroughly cover the joint with tape. (a cloth and tar, the type we use on hockey sticks). Pretty much stays put, unless you touch it after 100 years.
Within a week after the transition one of the forklifts ended up on its side with the battery half out and spilling acid all over the place. When the head genius walked up and surveyed the mess along with the rest of us I slapped him on the back and said “And that was your TRAINED staff that did that. Just wait until the retards get ahold of it” winked and walked away. It was fun being “essential” to plant operations. But boy they hated it sometimes.
Just imagine the carnage st battery CHANGING stations when the Dumb Herd Animals try their hand at it. OR.....the Tek-Nawl-Oh-Gee that does it breaks down. Yeah......pass the popcorn.
The demand as the world rejects the Fiat $ will be very interesting.
We got to fight this the right way. We have to stop them from pursuing this Grata Thumberg insanity.
Europe listened to this mental defective and look where at the situation they are in now.
Of course we are talking about people who have publicly admitted can't tell a penis from a vagina.
God help us.
