Republican lawmakers and energy industry groups heavily criticized President Biden on Wednesday after the White House announced sweeping regulations targeting gas cars.
Jason Hayes, Michigan's Mackinac Center's director of energy and environmental policy, says EV batteries cannot be repaired, leading to higher insurance premiums.
"His misguided policies are hurting American families while helping China," he continued."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."
EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the regulations were the most ambitious pollution standards ever for cars and trucks. He added that the rules would secure"critical reductions in dangerous air and climate pollution.""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," said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan said Wednesday the aggressive standards are"readily achievable thanks to President Biden’s Investing in America agenda."noted that the Biden administration is"doing everything in its power," meanwhile, to retire existing fossil fuel power generation, potentially jeopardizing the stability of the nation's grid as an increasing number of vehicles are powered by electricity instead of petroleum.
