If these regulations are allowed to go into place, they would empower communist China while putting a massive burden on families across the country.
The same EPA bureaucrats that want to force you to drive an electric vehicle are using red tape to stop the production of batteries and critical minerals in the United States. But when House Republicans passed legislation to address the problem, President Biden and Senate Democrats blocked it.
They're content to let China, which makes 75% of the world's lithium-ion batteries, maintain control of the electric vehicle supply chain.
That's a big reason why the average price of an electric vehicle is still $17,000 more than a gas-powered car. Most Mississippians can't afford that increase — and neither California nor the Biden administration should be able to force it on you.
It's my honor to serve you and all of South Mississippi in Congress. For more updates on how I'm fighting for you, please sign up for my newsletter.
