More than 100 energy and farm trade groups sent a letter Tuesday morning to President Biden, urging him to reconsider his administration’s proposed tailpipe emissions regulations designed to force more electric vehicle sales.
The coalition of organizations, led by the American Petroleum Institute, expressed concerns with both the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) plans targeting light- and medium-duty vehicle emissions and heavy-duty vehicle emissions. The groups said they support efforts to reduce emissions in the transportation sector, but criticized the EPA’s rules saying they block consumer choice.
