The Biden administration has finalized new emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, aiming to combat climate change and reduce air pollution. These stringent regulations, set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have sparked reactions across various sectors. Industry groups, such as the Trucking Industry, have criticized the new rules as 'unachievable,' expressing concerns over the economic impact. Meanwhile, supporters, including Representative Mike Levin, have praised the move for its potential to ensure a cleaner environment for future generations. The new rules are part of a broader effort by the administration to spur a green revolution in heavy industry and increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The EPA's new standards, which will apply to model years 2027 through 2032, are expected to avoid 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative aligns with the administration's goal of requiring 70% of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric or hybrid by 2032, effectively pushing towards the electrification of the nation's vehicle fleet.

Biden’s latest scam is a new EPA rule requiring 70 percent of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. be electric or hybrid by 2032 — in other words, a ban on gas-powered vehicles.
Good morning with good news: US investment in clean energy more than doubled in 2023, compared to 2022. 2020: $85 billion 2021: $114 billion 2022: $141 billion 2023: $303 billion ~4x more investment than in 2020!! Source @BloombergNEF Credit @AkshatRathi @TimMLatimer
EPA’s final car standards are a win for the environment and for public health. They will slash greenhouse gas and other harmful air pollution emissions from passenger cars and trucks.
