American Petroleum Institute Claims EPA Trying to Ban Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles

The new emission rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency would effectively mean a phase-out of internal combustion engine vehicles.
That's according to the American Petroleum Institute, which commented on proposed emission rule changes by the EPA that would require a 13% reduction in annual vehicle emissions in the United States for models 2027 to 2032. The proposed changes would also stipulate a 56% cut in overall average fleet emissions in that period from 2026 levels.
"The stringency of the standards as proposed and illustrated by EPA, are effectively a ban on internal combustion engines," API senior policy advisor Bryan Just told Reuters.

According to the API, just the changes, if approved as is, would effectively put an end to internal combustion engine technology improvement and hybrid technology while at the same time making the U.S. heavily reliant on foreign suppliers of the battery materials needed for EVs.
Unsurprisingly, Californian authorities, unlike the API, praised the changes, which are in tune with the state's ambitious plans to turn itself into the first net-zero state in the country.
The chairwoman of California's Air Resources Board praised the changes but noted that "because conventional internal combustion technology will be used for years to come, we encourage you to include mechanisms to ensure that greenhouse gas emissions from those vehicles continue to decline even if the share of ZEVs increases."
As Reuters noted in its report, California needs the agency's approval for its plan to phase out internal combustion engine cars by 2035.
The EPA acknowledges that stricter regulations would affect ICE car sales, forecasting that as a result of those regulations-if implemented-60% of new vehicles sold by 2030 will be electric, rising to 67% by 2032.

The EPA has a year and a half left of their uber-leftist, climate figs fueled orgy of idiotic fantasies, before Big Daddy comes home and guts the Federal Govt.

Should be fairly easy since the cylinder is just empty space. I’m not touching your piston and I’m surely not touching your rod.

As soon as everyone in the EPA quits using or benefiting from ICE engines I’ll think about it. That means no autos, no plane trips, and most importantly no food that was harvested or transported with an ICE engine.
Hint, they will all starve to death before this happens.

SCOTUS has already slapped down the EPA last year for abusing their fiat power for far less.
This has no chance to survive, either.

It's a crazy world we live in today. Thanks white suburban wine moms.

They can have my ICE when they catch me in their EV.

Is this a good time to remind people that the EPA is a group of non-elected officials that make up a non-elected entity that has been allowed to set national policy that can influence every aspect of life?
