The Senate voted on Wednesday to pass a bill reversing the Biden administration's actions mandating states to track and set reduction goals for greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles on highways. The resolution was approved in a 53-47 vote, with bipartisan support from Senators Kyrsten Sinema, Sherrod Brown, Jon Tester, and Joe Manchin joining every Republican in voting in favor.
The bill, introduced in February by Senators Kevin Cramer, Shelley Moore Capito, and Joe Manchin, aims to overturn regulations finalized by the Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in November. These regulations were part of President Biden's goal to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030.
