Biden and his minions, so obsessed with the “green” chimera of clean transportation, have proposed new EPA rules that would dramatically increase the number of electric vehicles on our roads.
Writing on Town Hall, Timothy Nash and Jason Haynes provide 25 good reasons why this should not be done. Here’s just the first of their points:
1. America’s electric grid already “faces a capacity shortfall … resulting in high risk of energy emergencies” when energy demand peaks in winter or summer conditions. EVs will further strain our grid unless Americans stop using electricity when we need it and reorder our lives to only use electricity when weather conditions allow it to be generated.

I will only add that this is blatantly unconstitutional. Congress is vested with all legislative power and yet here we have executive branch flunkies dictating important policy matters. (I don’t think that Congress could do this either, as the Biden regulations are not what the Founders meant by “regulating interstate commerce” but that’s another question.) In the last two years, the Supreme Court has begun to wake up from its long slumber that allowed the administrative state to become co-equal with Congress. If these rules are implemented, they must be challenged and the Court needs to firmly say “No.”
