House Votes to Overturn Biden's EV Mandate
« on: December 09, 2023, 02:27:33 pm »
EPOCH TIMES By Joseph Lord 12/6/2023

A bill has been passed in the House to block the Biden administration's proposed 2032 EV mandate.

The House of Representatives on Dec. 6 voted to pass a bill that will block a proposed rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to effectively mandate that most cars produced in the United States be fully electric by 2032.

The bill, H.R. 4468, dubbed the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2023, passed the House by a 221–197 vote. That included total GOP support; Democrats, meanwhile, sought to have the bill sent back to committee.
The bill would block an EPA rule that would require roughly 68 percent of cars manufactured in the United States be fully electric by 2032. The rule has won the support of President Joe Biden's administration.

Republicans have rallied against the proposed standards, which they say are unrealistic and threaten to undermine consumer freedom—as well as to increase U.S. dependence on China.

Around 90 percent of the rare earth minerals used to create electric vehicles (EVs) are sourced from the top U.S. adversary.
The broad support among Republicans for blocking the rule was on full display in November, when over 200 House and Senate Republicans signed onto a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) urging opposition to the rule (pdf).

This is fascism.

We’ve actually been fascist for decades…but not for the reasons fool commie Dems like to glibly throw out.

This is the very definition.  Telling people and their corporations what they must do and do not.

Besides the obvious liberty problems, what happens if it doesn’t work?  Or if something comes along that is even better?  What if we can make engines run on trash in 5 years?  Still required to have the inferior product?

These jackass tyrants never think ahead.  And they are not in a position to.  They don’t know about any of this stuff to tell us all what must be done.
Common sense is an uncommon virtue.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

Many of us warned of Joes 'dementia' tyranny and were ignored, so here we are trying to undo Joes mindless/corrupt mess.  So much warned of, so much ignored to our destruction nearing.

Nice symbolic vote, but it won't accomplish anything.

Andrew Jackson set the precedent long ago that an Executive Order by a Democrat President supersedes any act of Congress or Supreme Court decision.

You’re right

I’ve heard people the last several decades, claim whatever president they don’t like is a fascist, but could never define its meaning. This isn’t being driven by market demand but government mandate.

It will never end as long as either side are happy with “their” fascist
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
