FIRST ON FOX: A group of more than 30 House Republicans is introducing a resolution Friday that would overturn President Biden's actions targeting gas-powered vehicles as part of his climate push. The nearly three dozen GOP lawmakers, led by Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., are introducing the bill under the Congressional Review Act, a law dating back nearly three decades that allows Congress to revoke federal regulations.
According to the EPA, the regulations will broadly help 'tackle the climate crisis' by reducing the transportation sector's carbon dioxide emissions by a staggering 7.2 billion metric tons over the course of the program, which will be in effect through 2032. The rules will also force automakers to increase production and sales of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, traditional hybrids and fuel cell vehicles.
The share of Americans who said they are considering an EV purchase has declined from 55% to 44% year-over-year, according to a Gallup poll conducted in March. When asked about the GOP resolution, the EPA didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
