The Tyranny of Control.
Las Vegas Review-Journal (3/28/24) commentary: "The new EPA emissions rules, part of the administration’s climate change policy agenda, would drastically limit the availability of traditional vehicles. While Biden political allies claim, 'It’s not a ban on gas cars,' the rules would mean gasoline-powered cars can make up no more than 30 percent of auto sales by 2032. Last year, fewer than 8 percent of new cars sold in the United States were EVs. The goal of the tailpipe emissions rule is to get that to nearly 60 percent — not including hybrids — in just eight years. This will 'require an increase in sales of electric vehicles that is far beyond the consumer interest we are experiencing at our dealerships,' according to EV Voice of the Customer, an industry group representing 5,000 auto dealers... '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 Environmental Protection Agency chose Good Friday to roll out its burdensome electric truck mandate, no doubt so fewer people notice. Biden officials well know the damage they are doing, but the damage in the name of climate change is the point."
