US House Republicans Lead Effort to Reverse Biden's Fuel Economy Regulations

2024-08-11 05:02:58.550000

A coalition of Congressional Republicans, led by Michigan U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg, has introduced bills to reverse the Biden administration's new vehicle fuel economy regulations. The regulations, known as Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, aim to achieve an average fuel economy of 53.5 miles per gallon by 2032. Walberg argues that the standards limit consumer choice and mandate electric vehicles (EVs). The Republicans' effort to cancel the CAFE standards is unlikely to succeed in the current politically divided Congress, but they may have a chance to revive the action if they win control of both chambers and the White House in the 2024 general elections. The CAFE rule is part of President Biden's broader efforts to reduce the environmental impact of consumer vehicles and promote electrification in the auto industry. Republicans oppose these efforts, claiming they infringe on consumer choice and favor unelected bureaucrats over industry innovation. [9c0f086f]
