Tomorrow EPA will propose a regulation that essentially mandates EVs. Does the Biden administration hate democracy? Remember that a recent Reuters poll found that only 1/3 of Americans would consider buying an EV.
Reuters (3/21/23) reports: "Just over one-third of Americans would consider buying an electric vehicle for their next model, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The seven-day poll completed on Monday found 34% of all respondents would consider an EV, while 31% said no. Among Democrats 50% said they would consider an EV, while 26% of Republicans and 27% of independents said they would consider. There are now more than 80 EV models for sale in the United States. EVs represented nearly 6% of all U.S. sales in 2022."

"Ever-tighter regulation of PM2.5 is a game designed to increase the political power of the EPA and its allies in the White House, in Congress, and among ideological, geographic, and industrial interest groups. It is deeply perverse in terms of its potential to constrain severely economic development in numerous regions of the country. But here we are."
