Thanks to you guys, we sent thousands of comments to EPA pushing back on the Biden administration’s proposal to ban most new gasoline and diesel vehicles. The attention we’ve drawn to this issue is getting noticed and we want to keep this momentum going. 

In fact, it’s possible Congress will vote soon on legislation to:

• Stop EPA’s ban  
• Stop EPA from giving California (and the nearly 20 states that copy California) the green light to enact bans  
• Stop EPA from turning the Renewable Fuel Standard into an electric vehicle program  

But here’s the tough truth, and why I’m asking you to write your members of Congress NOW. These policies will only get a vote from the full House of Representatives if Congressional leaders agree that they’re a priority. That means we need bipartisan support from both Democrats and Republicans.  

Using this link, send a quick note to Congressional leaders and your members of Congress urging them to bring these three bills up for a vote.

EPA and the state of California are gambling with U.S. energy security, consumer choice and affordability, and they’re doing so because they’ve taken the flawed policy position that only zero-tailpipe-emission-vehicles are capable of helping to reduce the emissions intensity of transportation. They’re wrong. Their ban-centric approach to vehicle policy is un-strategic and wrong. And Congress can help set things right.

Let’s keep our momentum going by contacting Congress today!

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
