Bill Represents Second Step In "Roadmap for Energy Independence"

Washington, D.C. - After a quartet of House Republicans introduced new legislation freeing 17 states from California’s burdensome electric vehicle mandates, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:

“As the poster child for energy failure, California should be the last state setting a roadmap for others. Even green lunatics knew Congress would never pass laws this insane, and that’s why they granted the power to the Golden State. If EVs are as great as Gavin Newsom claims, government mandates would not be be necessary. Americans should be able to buy whatever vehicle they want, when they want, and we applaud these members of the House of Representatives for taking this important step.

The Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act was introduced by U.S. Reps. Bob Latta (R-OH5), John Joyce (R-PA13), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL12), and Jay Obernolte (R-CA23). It stipulates that states would not be required to follow the California mandate of selling only “zero emissions” vehicles by 2035. Currently, the federal government allows California to set their own emissions standards and 17 other states are required to follow.

This new legislation is the second bill introduced that supports Power The Future’s Congressional Roadmap for Energy Independence. Previously, a bill was introduced to repeal President Bidden’s tax on natural gas.
