Nationwide Coalition Urges All House Members to Save Our Cars
WASHINGTON DC (9/19/2024) – A diverse coalition, led by the American Energy Alliance (AEA) and several members of the Save Our Cars Coalition, sent a letter today to all members of the House of Representatives in support of the resolution of disapproval on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) tailpipe emissions rule. The 32* member coalition includes prominent national and state-based free-market organizations, trade associations, consumer and taxpayer protection groups, and grassroots organizations.
The EPA’s tailpipe emissions rule would set emissions requirements so high that auto companies would be eventually forced to manufacture all-electric vehicles (EVs) in order to meet the targets, thus implementing an EV mandate. A vote on this resolution is expected today.
Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, issued the following statement:
“In a move that shocks no one, the Biden-Harris EPA has once again overstepped its authority with their EV mandate. By prioritizing politics over personal freedoms, this Administration is destroying the cornerstone of our economy – consumer choice.
“The Democrats claim to stand with the American working class, yet they are leaving no stone unturned in their quest to make driving and mobility unaffordable for them.
“What the Biden-Harris Administration is trying to do with his mandate is deceptive, ill-advised, and a gross overreach of power. While it will undoubtedly be litigated by those who stand on the side of consumer choice and economic freedom, passage of the CRA resolution will ensure consumers are protected today.
“The Vice President claims she no longer supports an EV mandate. She should prove it by sending word to Capitol Hill that her boss should sign the CRA if it comes to his desk.”
