Press Releases

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA), Chair of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials, today released the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved California’s waiver to implement its de facto ban on gas-powered vehicles:

“The dangerously radical Biden-Harris administration is doubling down on its rush-to-green agenda that forces Americans to drive unaffordable, less reliable electric vehicles. Governments don’t create markets, consumers do. California’s de facto ban will have ripple effects throughout our economy, and we cannot allow a few liberal elites to decide what vehicle is best for a family in my district of South Georgia.”
