A major component of President Biden's green energy agenda to combat climate change is being met with mounting opposition, as Republican officials and industry groups across the country prepare for their next potential legal battle with the administration.
More than 100 trade groups with ties to the transportation sector on Tuesday urged the White House to reverse course on the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposal to curtail vehicle emissions that would force automakers to phase out the majority of new gas-powered cars by 2030 and sell mostly electric vehicles.
White House climate adviser Ali Zaidi did not respond to a request for comment about the concerns from the trade groups, which included an array of industries such as trucking, Big Oil, construction, automakers, farmers, food and manufacturers. The EPA’s proposal would force those numbers to more than triple to 60% by 2030 and 67% by 2032. EVs accounted for less than 6% of new vehicles sold in 2022.
