Biofuels groups filed a lawsuit this week along with oil and natural gas producers seeking to block the Biden administration’s new emissions standards, which they say will effectively end sales of new gas-powered vehicles by 2032.
American Petroleum Institute The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers Association, along with the National Corn Growers Association, the American Farm Bureau Federation and several auto dealers, are co-petitioners in the lawsuit, which contends the Environmental Protection Agency exceeded its authority under the Clean Air Act. The Act gives the authority to regulate vehicle emissions.
In March this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released final new vehicle emissions standards for light- and medium-duty vehicles, requiring 68% of new passenger cars and 43% of new medium-duty trucks and vans to be electric by 2032, which will force automakers to produce Electric car.
“This EPA rule exceeds the authority of Congress and will eliminate most new gasoline-powered vehicles and conventional hybrid vehicles from the U.S. market in less than a decade,” API said.
AFPM said the EPA “went above and beyond in finalizing average standards for the entire fleet, rather than specific standards that all cars and trucks must meet.” “Since no gasoline, diesel, or conventional hybrid vehicle currently meets the 85 g/mile standard, the EPA’s average scenario … is clearly intended to mandate the adoption of electric vehicles.”
