In a bipartisan vote, the Senate slapped down the overreach of the Biden administration when it comes to tracking car emissions and making as many people as possible “go green.”
The Biden administration has not been shy about their environmental goals. As we have seen from their comments about climate change being “an existential threat,” Pete Buttigieg openly refusing to understand why people won’t buy electric cars, and the administration announcing emissions rules that states would be forced to implement. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) set their bureaucratic rules for the entire thing last November.
But the Senate finally remembered that they have the ability to, uh, LEGISLATE. And so they did, with a close vote that gained bipartisan support.
The Senate on Wednesday afternoon voted in favor of passing a bill reversing the Biden administration’s actions mandating states to track and set reduction goals for greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles on highways.
The chamber approved the resolution in a 53-47 vote in which Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz.; Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio; Jon Tester, D-Mont.; and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., joined every Republican voting in the affirmative. The bill was introduced in February by Sens. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D.; Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.; and Manchin.
