WASHINGTON — More than 150 Republicans in the U.S. House asked Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan Monday to roll back the agency's proposed emissions standards that are expected to further push the auto industry to electric vehicles.
EPA's new emissions standards are "unworkable and impractical" and would force the auto industry into "complete vehicle electrification under the guise of mitigating climate change," the members wrote in a letter led by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington.
Five of Michigan's six GOP House members signed the letter: Reps. Tim Walberg of Tipton, Bill Huizenga of Holland, John Moolenaar of Caledonia, Lisa McClain of Bruce Township, and John James of Farmington Hills.
