Daily Caller (9/19/24) reports: "Energy-focused organizations called on lawmakers to scrap the Biden-Harris administration’s electric vehicle (EV) 'mandate' in a Thursday letter. More than two dozen energy groups sent the letter to every lawmaker in Congress, urging them to push through Congressional Review Act (CRA) proceedings against the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) tailpipe emissions standards for light-duty vehicles. The CRA enables legislators to effectively overturn federal regulations provided a resolution targeting a specific rule can pass both chambers of Congress and gets signed by the president, or if lawmakers can manage to override a presidential veto, according to the Congressional Research Service. 'This EPA rulemaking is clearly beyond the scope of the regulatory power granted to the agency by Congress,' the letter states. 'While this overreach will be litigated in the courts, a positive CRA decision now would ensure that consumers are protected today, rather than wait years for the issue to work its way through the court system.'...'In a move that shocks no one, the Biden-Harris EPA has once again overstepped its authority with their EV mandate. By prioritizing politics over personal freedoms, this Administration is destroying the cornerstone of our economy — consumer choice,' Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, said. 'What the Biden-Harris Administration is trying to do with his mandate is deceptive, ill-advised, and a gross overreach of power. While it will undoubtedly be litigated by those who stand on the side of consumer choice and economic freedom, passage of the CRA resolution will ensure consumers are protected today.' Beyond the American Energy Alliance, other signatories include Americans for Prosperity, the Western Energy Alliance, Heritage Action, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Always On Energy Research."

"Biden officials tout their subsidized green energy projects, but their policies are chilling investment in projects that don’t require taxpayer funding. Meantime, Kamala Harris is trying to strike a contrast with Donald Trump by promising to support Ukraine and NATO allies. But will she lift the LNG moratorium or leave Ukraine and U.S. workers in the cold?
