Good. This is just theater for the knuckle-dragging Republican base anyway. The dems who went along with it can eat a bag of dicks.
Fucking dipshit asshole bastard republiQans. Evil, stupid, sociopathic, and cheating every way possible. As usual.
Are you telling me, that my US rep Tim Fucking Walberg, that useless fuck, actually accomplished something? I'm actually kind of impressed. The bill is straight up dogshit, but he actually submitted something and dogged it through committee and got the full chamber to vote on something.
I call bullshit. Someone else did this, and pawned it off onto Tim. Either because they didn't want to be responsible for it, or they felt sorry for him. Hell, I feel sorry for him.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The White House's plan to boost electric vehicle adoption came under heavy fire in Congress on Wednesday.
Five Democratic Representatives joined the Republican majority to pass a bill that would prohibit the US Environmental Protection Agency from enacting stricter new corporate average fuel efficiency regulations that would require automakers to sell many more EVs by the year 2032.
But burning fewer hydrocarbons has become anathema to the modern Republican Party, and former President Donald Trump's administration focused some of its attention on undermining the EPA's ability to regulate tailpipe emissions or cut gasoline dependence.
A pair of Texas Democrats (Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzales), as well as Jared Golden (D-Maine), Donald Davis (D-N.C.), and Mary Peltola (D-Alaska) all voted with the Republican Party.
It says the EPA cannot "finalize, implement, or enforce" new vehicle pollution regulations that are meant to go into effect in 2027.
The White House strongly condemned the legislation, which it says would "catastrophically impair" the EPA's ability to regulate vehicle pollution, and President Joe Biden has threatened to veto the bill should it pass the Senate and be sent to his desk.

Current battery tech for EV's is only good for short range commuters who have a means to charge from their homes. That leaves out half the population.
Hybrid EVs are pretty good for everything. Their batts are small enough to be easily replaced when they go bad (all EV's of every type will have their batteries need replaced in 10 to 20 years time) and you don't need to plug them in so no range issues or priving unregulated EV charging station to worry about finding.
That's really the only type of EV the US should be concentrating on until there's better battery options available. A 1500 Lb Battery that costs over $10,000 to have replaced so you can go 300 miles when the car is new (and temps are warm) and have it slowly dwindle down lower and lower with every charge is a waste that will prematurely add vehicles to landfills.
