The Biden administration has taken a significant step towards combatting climate change with a new regulation aimed at revolutionizing the American automobile industry. The Environmental Protection Agency has announced plans to ensure that the majority of new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. are all-electric or hybrids by 2032.
The new tailpipe pollution limits set by the EPA are part of President Biden’s strategy to reduce carbon emissions and combat global warming. With a target of 56 percent of new cars being all-electric and 16 percent being hybrids, the administration hopes to drastically decrease the carbon footprint of the transportation sector, which is the largest source of carbon emissions in the country.
Electric vehicles have become a central focus in the fight against climate change, and President Biden is optimistic about reaching his goal of half of all new cars and trucks being zero-emission by 2030. The push for electric vehicles has also become a hot topic in the 2024 presidential campaign, with candidates on both sides of the aisle weighing in on the issue.
President Biden has pointed to progress in expanding factories, private investment, and job creation as reasons for his optimism. With record-breaking temperatures in recent years and the urgent need to address climate change, the adoption of electric vehicles is seen as a crucial step towards a more sustainable future.
