During a recent Senate hearing in Washington D.C., Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan heard criticisms from lawmakers regarding the Biden administration’s push for increased electric vehicle use via regulation.
Wyoming GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis told EPA administrator Regan, that many rural Americans prefer gas and ethanol powered cars and trucks.
The EPA has proposed stringent auto pollution rules that could force electric vehicles to make up two-thirds of new vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2032.
In the Senate hearing Lummis argued that some Americans are concerned about the reliability of electric vehicles.
Biden officials, including USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, have countered that increased EV use will support manufacturing jobs while also reducing pollution.
Lummis told EPA Administrator Regan that consumers have a different viewpoint.
That was Wyoming GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis.
