Manchin Statement on EPA's Radical Vehicle Emissions Standards
Washington,
DC – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources
Committee, released the following statement on the Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) new standards on vehicle emissions.
“The
EPA is lying to Americans with false claims about how their manipulation of the
market to boost EVs will help American energy security. In reality, this is a
Trojan horse. To meet these timelines will mean strengthening our reliance on
minerals and technologies controlled by the Chinese. Taken in concert with the
clear violation of the IRA to undermine provisions that would actually secure
these supply chains, this Administration is taking steps that will only result
in a more energy secure and powerful China. I don't believe that making
progress on climate change should come at the expense of our national and
energy security. I fully support Congress overturning these dangerous EPA
regulations."
