DC Journal (3/28/24) reports: "Automobile dealers want the Biden administration to quit trying to force them to vroom vroom down electric avenue. These dealerships are now rolling the throttle on their opposition to the new regulations, saying they are being pushed by 'unelected Washington bureaucrats dictating what kind of vehicles Americans can buy.' The new EPA emissions rules, part of the administration’s climate change policy agenda, would drastically limit the availability of traditional gas-powered vehicles. While Biden political allies claim, 'It’s not a ban on gas cars,' the rules would mean gas-powered cars can make up no more than 30 percent of auto sales by 2032...'This regulation is another example of President Biden’s assault on the middle class,' said Thomas Pyle, president of the Institute for Energy Research and the American Energy Alliance. 'The American people should be free to choose the types of cars and trucks that make the most sense for them. This administration wants to take away that choice by forcing Americans into specific vehicles preferred by government agents at the EPA. The Biden regulations will make cars more expensive and ultimately make fewer cars available for Americans.'”

"Instead [of adopting a carbon tax], Governor Shapiro should chart a new course that maintains Pennsylvania’s prominent position as a clean energy-exporting state and encourages market forces to provide jobs and reliable, affordable energy across the commonwealth."
