Labor & Energy Action Alert (Submitted By EEAC Board Member Chet Thompson, President & CEO, American Fuel & Petro-chemical Manufacturers)
Attention EEAC Board Members and Fellow Labor & Energy Leaders,
– Please Forward To Your Members & TAKE ACTION NOW!
The state of California is banning the sale of new gas and diesel cars and trucks. They’re also going after diesel semi-trucks. The only thing standing between us and California vehicle bans becoming our national norm is the EPA… and Congress.
California doesn’t have the right to ban cars, so it has to get explicit permission from President Biden and the EPA to move forward. On this matter, EPA answers to Congress, and Congress can make clear that EPA is not authorized to give this permission.
This week, Congress is voting on a bill H.R. 1435 – the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act that would do just that. It would rein in the EPA and stop extreme California vehicle bans from becoming the law of land (as you know, close to 20 states follow California vehicle laws and many, including N.J. & Delaware, have already taken steps to impose California’s ban).
