The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) led an effort of more than 50 free market organizations, including E&E Legal, to send a letter to the U.S. Senate to encourage “passage of three Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions rescinding Biden EPA waivers allowing California to reshape the nation’s car and truck industry, as the letter explains.
The letter continues, in part:
The undersigned organizations strongly urge the Senate to follow the lead of the House and protect Americans from this radical Green New Deal agenda to kill off our cars. Americans, not state and federal bureaucrats, should be able to choose what kind of vehicles best meet their needs. This push for electrification will limit consumer choice, drive up prices, and make it more difficult for Americans to go to work, see their doctor, and visit family members, among other things.
There is no overstating the importance of these resolutions. While the waivers are for California rules, other states can and have adopted these standards. Further, since manufacturers want to avoid duplicative requirements, California could in effect be establishing a national standard.
