BIG OIL ISN’T HAPPY WITH THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S EV PUSH.
[FEMALE VOICE]
President Biden is banning most new gas cars, putting our freedom to choose what to drive in the rearview mirror
[JACK AYLMER]
THAT’S A NEW AD FROM OIL INDUSTRY TRADE GROUP THE AMERICAN FUEL AND PETROCHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS-
WITH MEMBERS INCLUDING EXXONMOBIL, CHEVRON, PHILLIPS 66, AND MORE.
A-F-P-M IS SPENDING MILLIONS TO GET THIS VIDEO OUT TO SWING STATE VOTERS AHEAD OF THE 20-24 ELECTION-
TRYING TO RALLY PUBLIC OPINION AGAINST BIDEN’S SELF PROCLAIMED STRICTEST EVER VEHICLE EMISSIONS REGULATIONS.
WHILE THESE POLLUTION STANDARDS DO NOT NECESSARILY CONSTITUTE AN OUTRIGHT BAN OF GAS POWERED CARS AS THE AD MIGHT SUGGEST-
IT DOES SET A ROADMAP FOR THE TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
THE RULES GIVE AUTOMAKERS AN ADJUSTMENT PERIOD LASTING UNTIL 20-32-
WITH THE E-P-A PROJECTING THAT THEIR ENFORCEMENT COULD MEAN EVS WILL ACCOUNT FOR AS MUCH AS 56 PERCENT OF NEW PASSENGER CARS AND TRUCKS FROM 2030 TO 2032.
THESE FINALIZED REGULATIONS ARE ACTUALLY LESS DEMANDING OF THE AUTO INDUSTRY THAN PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED VERSIONS.
THIS REFLECTED LOBBYING EFFORTS BY AUTOMAKERS, CAR DEALERS, AND THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS UNION FOR MORE COMPLIANCE LATITUDE-
RATHER THAN A RAPID TRANSITION TO AN ALL-ELECTRIC FLEET.
BUT MAJOR PLAYERS IN THE OIL INDUSTRY ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE VOTERS THAT EVEN THIS COMPROMISE GOES TOO FAR-
WARNING ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY WILL BE A HOST OF DETRIMENTAL CONSEQUENCES.
[FEMALE VOICE]
With the challenges ahead, we can’t leave our choices, our economic strength and our national security in the rearview mirror
