Republican attorneys general from 20 states wrote that the rule was federal overreach, but 13 Democratic attorneys general countered that it would be "an efficient and judicious tool for tracking and addressing [greenhouse gas] emissions on the [national highway system]," Vock reports.
The National Association of City Transportation Officials also backed the proposal, noting that transportation accounted for 27% of U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions in 2020 and over half came from passenger vehicles. But the rule would have an unfair and disparate effect on states with largely rural populations, the transportation departments of Idaho, Montana and South Dakota wrote: “Relatively dispersed populations in rural states have to travel longer distances to and from destinations for basic needs such as shopping and health services.”

No shit. Perhaps it's the 200 mile limit on an $80,000 electric car. Tesla offers an 8 year 100,000 mile warranty. How much to replace a battery once it is gone? Lexus says an average of $47,000. None of the other car companies will tell you a price. Who lives in the rural areas? It's not all the wealthy people though they are trying to buy up all the land. We are killing coal and not replacing the generation with reliable electricity. Why are we manufacturing self-infliction when we attribute 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions? Perhaps if the government was making declarations on replacing coal fired EGUs with Nuclear plants I wouldn't be so concerned. But our future looks like some dystopia where we face rolling blackouts due to grid overload, are limited to a given amount of GHG and once we reach that limit our toaster no longer operates (until the next week). Government has failed at pretty much everything they've touched since the end of WWII and the rise of the military industrial complex. Education, pharma/drugs, economy, finance, homeland security. The bigger it gets the bigger it's failures. The push for globalism only weakens the American government and the will of the people. Why does the UN, Davos, WEF, WHO, NATO tell America what to do when to do it and how much money it will cost the taxpayers? All these issues are interrelated. It's time for regular everyday Americans to get off their butts and go out and vote every one of these globalists out of office. The WEF and the likes will be the downfall of freethinking Americans. Why is it that we know exactly how much money united states' taxpayers have given to Ukraine but we don't know how much any other member of NATO has contributed? I can guarantee you the answer is close to zero. Stop relying on billionaires to solve problems. All they're actually trying to do is enrich themselves or gain some influence. No one that you think of is trying to make the world a better place. They are trying to put themselves in a better place. If you want to be an indentured servant, then keep doing exactly what you've been doing. I assure you that if you are not, then your children will be. If you want to know if a candidate is a member of the WEF it's pretty easy to research who is who.
