President Biden’s new rule cutting emissions from vehicle tailpipes has deepened a partisan battle over automotive technology.
The regulations would require automakers to produce more electric vehicles and hybrids by gradually tightening limits on tailpipe pollution.
New Biden administration auto rules will ease requirements compared to an earlier proposal but will still add to market pressure for cheaper electric vehicles.
The change to planned rules was an election-year concession to labor unions and auto executives, according to people familiar with the plan.
The decision in Parliament, opposed by environmentalists, will allow prospectors to start surveying the country’s waters.
President Biden seems nervous about sealing a deal that would improve the health and quality of life of millions of Americans through a stricter rule on truck emissions.
President Biden’s 2022 climate act spurred big investments in U.S. battery factories, but it has not similarly boosted E.V. sales.
When not driving around, electric buses and other vehicles could help utilities by storing their solar and wind energy and releasing it to meet surges in demand.
The agreement could help speed up the development of large solar projects that are often bogged down by fights over land use and environmental concerns.
The Biden administration is spending billions to transform how Americans use and consume energy. How can we make that process more equitable?
