The Biden administration’s rule on vehicle pollution standards, introduced by the Environmental Protection Agency earlier this year, “is one of the more devastating ones” that the White House has released, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said on Newsmax Sunday.
“These guys want to try to force everyone to move to electric vehicles in such a short period of time, the power grid is never going to be able to sustain it,” Morrisey, a Republican and candidate in the West Virginia gubernatorial race, said on Newsmax’s “National Report.”
Further, the new rules mean an attack on the internal combustion engine, “which means you’re going after affordable pickup trucks, which means you’re going after rural America,” said Morrisey.
