House Bill H.R. 4117, the Fuel Emissions Freedom Act
Timothy Birdnow
Congress is finally taking action against California's control of auto emissions in the United States.
Can the Fuel Emissions Freedom Act save America’s auto industry from California?
As of now California sets our national policies in many ways, be it through emissions standards or low flow toilets or the ban on incandescent lightbulbs. All of those things came about because America's largest state economy demanded them and passed laws forcing companies to provide these things - and the companies, fearing losing so lucrative a market, agreed to push this stuff in all fifty states.
House Bill H.R. 4117, the Fuel Emissions Freedom Act seeks to repeal federal and state motor vehicle emission and fuel economy standards under the Clean Air Act.
It is likely California will use it's pet courts to block the revision of the law.
California is pushing an insane s environmentalist scheme of zero emission vehicles by 2035. Of course they will cry and whine when their power grid proves inadquate for all those plug in toys they are promoting. That is for the good to them; they will force people to use mass transit, to live close to their jobs in high rise apartments, and to double up so power outages aren't as bad. So typical of leftists, who want power and control.

News flash: California's power grid is already inadequate to serve the existing power load. Forget about future loads with 100% electric cars. We import huge amounts of power from outside the state and have been doing so for several years, and even so we have periodic "brownouts" when our transmission grid is not able to carry sufficient power to meet needs.

And would Gov. Hair Gel be able to give you a straight answer if you asked him why all those brownouts are happening? What would he say about them? Or more to the point, would anybody be allowed to ask him?

However, the vast majority of California drivers will do what they've always done, which is continue to drive their normal gas-powered cars (many of them hybrids) and just suck up the increasingly higher gas prices.
And I'm going to bet that all the Californians who are going to buy EVs already have, and some of those buyers will switch back to normal cars when they can't stand their electric toys anymore.
