Why is it that no one in the Credentialed Media ever asks Biden and the high mucky mucks in the, say, EPA, if they’re personally driving SUVs right now? Why Biden travels in a massive, low MPG fossil fueled limo with dozens of fossil fueled chase vehicles?
Biden admin set to finalize major gas car crackdown over warnings from automakers, energy industry https://t.co/Xrv8Lv21KK

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.
And those large donors mostly do not drive EVs themselves. What this will do is make private vehicles too expensive for the average middle and working class Americans. All for a scam.
Overall, under the proposal, which EPA unveiled in April 2023 and will go into effect in 2027, the White House projected that 67% of new sedan, crossover, SUV and light truck purchases would be electric by 2032. In addition, up to 50% of bus and garbage truck, 35% of short-haul freight tractor and 25% of long-haul freight tractor purchases could also be electric by then.
Yeah, well, they should be asking the actual drivers about this, and most are not asking for this. They think this is none of the government’s business. Automakers know this, even those who are pushing hard, or, at least, had been pushing hard, on EVs.
But remember, kids, Trump was a dictator.
Somehow.
It’s never been explained how.
And what if 67% of new vehicle buyers don’t want a “new sedan, crossover, SUV and light truck” that is electric? What if they want the proven technology of the gasoline or diesel engine?
Mr Teach asks, for the 948th time: Why is it that no one in the Credentialed Media ever asks Biden and the high mucky mucks in the, say, EPA, if they’re personally driving SUVs right now?
Because it’s a silly question?
Curiously, neither Mr teach nor the FOX article address the proposed tailpipe emissions target.
They DO give a platform to the American Energy Institute president and CEO Jason Isaac, who says, “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…”
And Mr Teach adds “And those large donors mostly do not drive EVs themselves”. BTW, Mr Isaac is a former TX state congressman, Republican, and founder of AEI, which supports petroleum interests. Why is FOX giving a oil industry lobbyist a platform?
Mr Dana asks, reasonably: And what if 67% of new vehicle buyers don’t want a “new sedan, crossover, SUV and light truck” that is electric? What if they want the proven technology of the gasoline or diesel engine?
Note that the 67% is a projection not a rule or requirement. We suspect the rule will be a fleet requirement limiting total GHG emissions. Today, there are fleet requirements for fuel efficiency but a Kentuckian can still purchase a Supercharged V8 engine which produces 807 horsepower in the SRT Super Stock Dodge Challenger.
Thanks, Joey, just one more thing to fuck up that Trump will have to fix.
