Barrasso Statement on EPA’s Electric Vehicles Mandate
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released finalized rules on new emissions standards on cars, trucks and SUVs.
“The out-of-touch Biden administration is trying to force Americans into expensive electric vehicles they don’t want, don’t need and can’t afford. Democrats are already telling Americans what kind of stoves to cook with. Now they want to control every room in your house – even your garage.
“In Wyoming, we drive larger vehicles longer distances than most other states. We should be able to make our own decisions about what works best for our needs. Republicans will fight to overturn the Biden car mandate and put Americans back in the driver’s seat.”
