The Biden administration is reevaluating its approach to electric cars in response to public sentiment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is gearing up to introduce what could be the most stringent tailpipe emission regulations in history. The proposed rule would mandate that two-thirds of all vehicles on the road be electric, a move that has raised concerns about feasibility and readiness among the American populace.
Recognizing the potential challenges of such a drastic shift, reports indicate that the Biden administration is considering delaying the implementation of this requirement until 2030. This timeline would extend beyond President Biden's current term in office, even if he were to secure a second term.
Meanwhile, at the local level, Democratic initiatives aligned with the broader environmental goals of the administration are gaining traction. In a move echoing the Green New Deal agenda, New York City is contemplating a ban on tide pods and dishwasher pods due to their environmental impact. These products, which contain materials that leave behind microplastics when dissolved, are being scrutinized for their contribution to pollution.
