Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA), the leading energy and environmental advocate for families and businesses, applauded the Senate for moving to rescind Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waivers granted in the final weeks of the Biden Administration that would impose California vehicle rules that amount to de facto vehicle bans onto almost 35% of the country’s population.
The Senate actions follow a bipartisan vote in the House in which 35 Democrats joined their Republican counterparts in voting to remove the waivers under the Congressional Review Act.
“CEA commends Sen. John Thune for bringing to the Senate floor these CRA resolutions, which defend consumer freedom by preventing California’s restrictive vehicle policies from being imposed on other states,” CEA President David Holt said. “Families across America deserve the right to choose vehicles that meet their unique needs—including EVs for those who want EVs – without facing artificial market constraints or paying premium prices they simply cannot afford.”
