House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans spoke in favor of S.J. Res. 11, a resolution to disapprove of the EPA’s final rule, “Control of Air Pollution from New Motor Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards." It passed the House Tuesday by a vote of 221-203.
BOTTOMLINE: The EPA’s own estimates say their emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks could cost more than $8,000 per semi-truck. This will jack up prices for everything transported by truck, including food, clothing, building materials. The American people can’t afford this regulation and it’ll force small operators close up shop, which will wreak havoc across our supply chains.
