EV mandate

Our government is solidly behind electric vehicles, probably for the climate connection. (The climate argument for EV's is not clear to me yet, since swapping gas for electricity will not eliminate fossil fuel use when electric power plants still use fossil fuels. Am I missing something? I welcome your comment.)

In fact, the current administration wants to force the issue. They mandated (an order, a command) what type of car citizens should drive and car companies should manufacture in the future.

But the House of Representatives rejected it two days ago.

According to its sponsor, the "Choice in Automobile Retail Sales Act of 2023" will:

"put a stop to this executive overreach, allowing consumers to have the freedom to decide what car works best for them and their families and preventing auto manufacturers from being forced to meet unrealistic mandates driven by the President’s Green New Deal agenda.”
