Senators Mike Crapo and Pete Ricketts have proposed the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act to combat what they call a &#8220;radical environmental agenda and executive overreach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Biden Administration is once again using its rule-making process to push a radical green agenda \u200dand pick\u200c winners and losers,&#8221; stated Mr. Crapo. &#8220;Americans deserve access to affordable,\u2063 reliable vehicles fueled by\u200b American-made energy products.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Related Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Is China&#8217;s Growing Energy Dominance Being Fueled by US\u2062 Green Policies?: \u2063Steve Milloy<\/h3>\n<p>8\/30\/2023<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>House Energy Subcommittee Hearing on Biden\u2019s Green Policies<\/h3>\n<p>4\/26\/2023<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In\u200c April, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new federal emission standards\u2063 aimed at improving air quality nationwide. The proposed\u2064 rule, titled &#8220;Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Year 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles,&#8221; sets strict regulations for gas-powered cars.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>The EPA&#8217;s proposed standards are the\u200c most aggressive ever and effectively mandate mass production of electric vehicles (EVs),&#8221; said Mr. Crapo. &#8220;If finalized, the EPA projects that over two-thirds of \u200dall new vehicles could be electric by 2032.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of the main\u200d concerns raised is the affordability of EVs for most Americans, as they cost an average of $17,000 more than \u2063gas-powered vehicles, according to data from Kelley Blue\u2062 Book. Mr. Crapo added, &#8220;The \u200bAdministration&#8217;s push \u2063for EVs threatens everyday Americans and\u2064 jeopardizes\u2062 auto workers&#8217; jobs, all while benefiting China, which dominates the EV supply chain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The CARS\u2063 Act aims to prevent the EPA from finalizing its proposed standards \u200band limit the authority granted \u200dunder the Clean Air Act to issue mandates on specific vehicle technologies or restrict the availability\u2063 of new motor vehicles based on engine\u200b type.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>EPA Claims Health Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>The EPA argues that the proposed standards would improve air\u2064 quality, particularly \u200din communities heavily affected by pollution. \u200dAccording to the EPA, these proposals \u2064would reduce CO2\u200b emissions \u200cby nearly 10 \u2064billion tons, equivalent to more than twice the total US emissions in \u200c2022. Additionally, they \u200bwould save thousands of dollars over the lifespan of compliant vehicles and reduce America&#8217;s reliance\u2062 on approximately 20 billion barrels of \u200doil imports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The EPA&#8217;s proposed standards for light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles \u200bstarting in 2027 will utilize various emission control\u2064 technologies to reduce carbon emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles. The \u200dEPA also \u200bprojects that these standards will accelerate the transition to EVs, with EVs\u200d potentially accounting for \u206367% of\u2062 new light-duty vehicle sales and 46% of new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/25-attorneys-general-blast-bidens-epa-for-forcing-car-makers-and-consumers-to-embrace-evs\/\" title=\"25 AGs criticize Biden's EPA for mandating EV adoption by car manufacturers and consumers.\">medium-duty vehicle sales<\/a> by 2032.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<h2>&#8216;Oppressive and Careless&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Senator Crapo believes that these changes will only \u200bincrease economic pressure on \u2063Americans while benefiting China. EVs rely on \u2063rare earth minerals, primarily sourced from China. Critics argue that the Biden administration&#8217;s green policies \u2063will undermine America&#8217;s energy independence and burden\u200b its economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Senator \u2062Ricketts describes the proposed standards \u2062as prioritizing a &#8220;radical\u2063 left agenda&#8221; over affordable and reliable internal combustion engines. Senator Shelly Moore\u2063 Capito adds that\u200c the government should not dictate the types of vehicles consumers can drive.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Senator Joe Manchin, calls the EPA&#8217;s proposed standards \u200c&#8221;oppressive\u200d and careless.&#8221; He echoes concerns about increased dependence on China and emphasizes the need to protect access to traditional, affordable vehicles.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does\u200d the Hnologies \u200clegislation \u2063ensure that consumer choice is protected in the automotive industry?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Hnologies. The legislation would ensure that consumer choice is protected and that automakers are not forced to produce\u200b a certain percentage of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Ricketts emphasized the importance of allowing the market \u200bto dictate consumer \u200bpreferences. &#8220;The government should not be\u2064 in the business of picking winners and losers when it \u2062comes to automobile technology,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Consumers should have the \u2063freedom to choose\u200b the vehicles that \u2063best meet their needs and desires, \u2064whether that be electric, hybrid, or gasoline-powered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the CARS\u2063 Act argue that the Biden\u2062 administration&#8217;s\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-introduce-legislation-to-fight-epas-aggressive-carbon-emission-regulations-on-gas-powered-cars\/\" title=\"Lawmakers propose bill against EPA's strict carbon emission rules for gas cars.\">carbon-emission \u200drestrictions disproportionately impact rural communities<\/a> and lower-income Americans.
