EPA tailpipe emission rules facing strong opposition in Illinois, elsewhere | Illinois
SUMMARY: The Biden administration’s strict tailpipe emissions standards are facing opposition, particularly from the Illinois Corn Growers Association, which supports a House resolution to overturn the EPA’s rules favoring electric vehicles (EVs). According to ICGA President Dave Rylander, the EPA’s regulations emphasize electrification while neglecting alternatives like corn-based ethanol. The association, alongside the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, has filed a lawsuit claiming the EPA exceeded its authority. Critics argue that the standards will lead to a ban on gas-powered cars, impacting consumers and the economy. The resolution now moves to the Senate, where President Biden is expected to veto it.
