The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) led an effort of 40 free market organizations, including E&E Legal, to send a letter to Congress urging support of the End EPA Abuse Act of 2026 (H.R. 9453 and S. 4931).
The letter continues, in part:
In recent years, the EPA has sought to expand its CAA authority to levels that defy common sense and the will of Congress. The agency has tried to use the CAA to help kill off gas-powered cars. This includes the Biden administration’s de facto electric vehicle mandate, with an agency estimated compliance cost of a staggering $760 billion. Beyond the cost of the rule is the incredible attack on individual freedom and the harm imposed on the mobility of Americans.
The agency has repeatedly tried to act like the nation’s grid manager through rules that would change how we produce electricity. Threats to the grid and increases in electricity prices have received little to no consideration in the development of the rules.
