Last year, President Biden announced  sweeping new mandates on the American auto industry to force a transition to electric vehicles. Under these radical, Green New Deal rules, as many as two-thirds of all cars and trucks sold in the U.S. market by 2032 would have to be EVs.  These rules were so terrible for consumers – and met with such fierce resistance by American workers – that his administration is already second-guessing them.  Biden has the wrong target.
