Joe Biden Issues Environmental Rule to Start Phasing Out Gas-Powered Cars
Breitbart ^ | 03/20/2024 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 03/20/2024 9:29:19 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

President Joe Biden has issued a new environmental federal regulation to begin phasing out gas-powered cars, requiring American automakers to produce Electric Vehicles (EVs) as part of his sweeping green energy agenda.

On Wednesday, Biden announced the rule to require that a majority of new cars sold in the U.S. market are EVs or hybrids by 2032, the New York Times details:

Nearly three years in the making, the new tailpipe pollution limits from the Environmental Protection Agency would transform the American automobile market. A record 1.2 million electric vehicles rolled off dealers’ lots last year, but they made up just 7.6 percent of total U.S. car sales, far from the 56 percent target under the new regulation. An additional 16 percent of new cars sold would be hybrids. [Emphasis added]

SCOTUS is useless. Corrupt leftists except for Thomas and Gorsuch. They rest suck.

Switch them to diesel and make your own biofuel.

“ I didn’t know that we were living under a King”

We aren’t…it’s fascism, not monarchy. We are living under a Fuehrer.

True that. My Grandad farmed with a John Deere Model A which ran on propane.

EPA is a federal agency placed under executive authority. Presidents can “make law” simply by issuing executive orders to agencies under their authority.

Every day or two I am reminded why I stopped voting, since 2016, in Congressional elections.

We the People are not in charge and haven’t been for a long time.

Outside of few notable folks like Rand Paul and Matt Gaetz, most of them are not deserving of our votes.

ALL of your local big box hardware stores are sure pushing battery yard tools over gas powered, even riding lawn mowers.

(I wonder how much batteries are going to set you back to replace them when they finally crap out?)

Excuse me…

I didn’t know that we were living under a King… who can rule by decree.

When you read about the actions of EPA and other regulatory agencies, think of:

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."

Yep. Straight outta 1776.

You might have something there. Hybrids are OK in my book. It laughable how small the batteries are in them. They really are gasoline powered cars with an electrical option for short hops. Most don’t even plug in at home.

Toyota the king of hybrids has said that the 2025 Camry will be sold only as a hybrid this is one of the best selling cars in the world that’s how confident Toyota is in their hybrid drive train. Having leased for extended periods of time a Prius and Camry hybrid they both return impressive mileage the Prius showed 82mpg in bumper to bumper traffic over a ten mile run with high 70s the norm in DFW area rush hour over 40 mile trips. The battery pack in the Toyota hybrids are all under 2kWh as it only takes 600 watt hours to slow a full sized sedan from 60 mph to zero or vice versa. The goal of the hybrid is to allow the electric motors with superior torque to accelerate and slow the car with the engine only providing the average load point torque all peaks are done electrically. I have a cousin with a Prius well over 150,000 miles on the same brake pads and the pack is going strong it still shows all bars when full charged. It’s the older NiMH pack not the better newer lithium packs with twice the cycle life vs NiMH cells.
