New EPA Vehicle Emissions Rules Could Spell Trouble for Farmers

In an excellent Missouri Times op-ed, Bradley Schad discusses proposed EPA rules regarding electric and gas vehicles for the near future. These rules accelerate the Biden Administration’s heavy-handed plans requiring 60 percent of new light-duty vehicles to be electric by 2030 and 67 percent by 2032. 

Takeaways from the article:

  • EPA is ignoring superior options to lower carbon emissions such as higher ethanol blend fuels.

  • Electric vehicles are significantly more expensive for companies and customers.

  • EPA regulations would damage communities driven by locally grown fuel and would make life more difficult and expensive for rural Americans.

  • Such rules and regulations should be left to Congress, not the EPA.
