Hundreds of thousands voice opposition to Biden rule on gas carsMore than 180,000 Americans sent in comments on the Biden administration’s stringent emissions rule, which threatens to remove cheaper and more reliable gas cars from the market in favor of less popular electric vehicles.
A total of 15,995 Americans submitted comments opposing the new rules through a portal created by Heritage Action for America, the grassroots arm of The Heritage Foundation, representing 8.7% of all comments. (The Daily Signal is The Heritage Foundation’s news outlet.)
“Submitting nearly 16,000 comments during this regulation’s comment period alone, Heritage Action’s network of grassroots Americans has spoken out against the EPA’s new plan to squeeze gas-powered vehicles out of the market with strict carbon emission standards,” Ryan Walker, acting executive director at Heritage Action, told The Daily Signal.
The new Environmental Protection Agency rules, which a Heritage Foundation scholar dubbed “Government Grand Theft Auto,” mandate fewer emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and other greenhouse gases for model years beginning in 2027 and stretching to 2032. By that year, carmakers will have to cut emissions from cars, pickup trucks, vans, and SUVs by 56%.
The EPA has acknowledged that the new rules are so stringent that carmakers will have to make up to 67% of new vehicles electric in order to comply.
