The Biden administration is expected this week to finalize highly anticipated regulations targeting gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions, considered the tip of the spear in its efforts to electrify the transportation sector.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is slated to issue the final rulemaking — which officials have boasted will incentivize greater adoption of electric vehicles (EV), but which opponents have criticized as a de facto mandate — as soon as Wednesday, industry sources told Fox News Digital. The regulations, a key part of President Biden's climate agenda, would ultimately force automakers to more rapidly expand electric options in their fleets beginning in a matter of years. "It certainly won't do anything to improve human health. It won't do anything to reduce pollution," American Energy Institute president and CEO Jason Isaac, who has researched the EV market, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "We've proven in this country that we're already a world leader in clean air. All it's going to continue to do is push the costs of electric vehicles on to purchasers of internal combustion engine vehicles."
"This is purely being done for campaign reasons — to really appease the leftist large donor base that are the climate alarmists that are driving this movement towards really what is a forced energy transition, which is just increasing the cost of everything," Isaac added.

Why can’t we admit we have a central-planning, marxist government?
Then, like the people of Eastern Europe in 1989, we would all agree on where change is needed
MSN is not the author or publisher. FOX News is.
Original article:
Nobody voted for this. The market has broadcast a robust “NO” to EVs. Only the “climate” nazis want it, and most of them are complete idiots without two braincells to rub together.
Good one!
Go ahead. This will turn unions against this creature.
The leftists consider themselves way more smarter than ordinary voters.
That reminds me to top off my tank with ethanol-free gas, which lasts me much longer.
😂👍
“Nobody voted for this”
And nobody voted for mandatory medical insurance or forced experimental shots either......see a trend there?
Lots of “Environmental Vehicles” to destroy the environment
More proof that Marxist Democrats have absolutely no regard for the will of the people. Clearly, our government is now almost completely 100% top-down authoritative, imposing its will regardless of public input or opinion. The people, via electric vehicle sales and manufacturing have unequivocally spoken and yet this Marxist regime marches on, unfazed.
Of course. EV’s benefit China and screw America.
They think they can do this and no one can undo it
This is a Great Idea, but doesn’t go nearly far enough. Now if we Had a Federal Law Prohibiting any and all persons that are or ever were a Government Employee from using, owning or possessing any ICE Powered type of vehicle, we could get somewhere.
“Why can’t we admit we have a central-planning, marxist government?
Then, like the people of Eastern Europe in 1989, we would all agree on where change is needed”
It’s worse than that and people of Eastern Europe are made of sterner stuff than pussificated America. (And they weren’t even armed to the teeth!)
Speaking of gas.....expect a drastic drop in gas prices probably around say September....and the media will praise taterhead for standing up the the uber rich oil companies.
Easy case for the courts. Simply ask that Congress (stupidly) gave the Executive Branch so much leeway to regulate ‘harmful pollutants’ did they (Congress) also intend to allow the Executive Branch to outlaw petroleum vehicles?
If not, then kill the mandate and tell Biden to first get a vote from Congress if he wants to take that step.
Has ANYONE figured out trains will run without FOSSIL FUELS???
A train goes by my house 2 times a day & ALOT of commerce depends on trains.
