🚘⚡🌍 Di Auto Industry Group Don Kick Against Biden Plan To Change America Cars to Electric
⬇️ Pidgin ⬇️ ⬇️ Black American Slang ⬇️ English
Na so di big-big auto industry organization begin talk say dem no gree for Biden administration big action against climate change regulation. Dis law na for make sure say two-thirds of new motor-dem wey dem dey sell for Obodo United States go turn electric by 2032.
If dem fit do am, na one of the strongest things any country fit do to fight climate change. E go remove about seven billion tons of carbon dioxide from our air — na like say all di motor-dem for America comot road for four years — by di way e go helep push di auto industry to leave di old old way wey motor dey use petrol and begin look electric motor-dem way. 🌍💨⚡
On Wednesday, na so di Alliance for Automotive Innovation, wey be like father for 42 car companies wey dey produce about 97 percent of the new motor-dem wey dem dey sell for United States, come dey talk for public say dis kind rules wey dem bring so, e no go fit work “e no make sense and e no fit reach di place dem want am to reach for di time dem talk for this proposal.” ⏳⚖️
Dis Alliance come talk say di organization, wey get members like General Motors, Ford, Stellantis, Volkswagen and Toyota, “no believe say dem fit reach where dem wan reach without to say e go increase di price of motor, reduce wetin people fit choose, and e go come cause wahala for plenty people for United States and even the country sef.” 💸🚘
Why E Matter: Big industry don dey fight Biden climate policy 🤼♂️🌍
This new car pollution regulation wey dem propose so, na one of the biggest weapon wey Biden administration fit use fight climate change, if dem fit pass am as dem talk am and e fit stand ground for court. Na because di smoke wey dey come out from motor exhaust pipe na the big pass source of climate-warming pollution for United States.
Na 2021 report by the International Energy Agency talk say countries suppose stop to dey sell new petrol-powered cars by 2035 to prevent di world temperature from increase 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above wetin e be before industrial levels. Dem talk say if e pass that level, di effects of heat waves, flooding, drought, crop failures and species extinction go hard people wella to manage. 🌡️☀️🌊
But last year, na only 5.8 percent of new motor-dem wey dem sell for United States na electric. Mr. Biden last year sign one law wey go helep encourage Americans to buy more electric motor-dem by giving up to $7,500 for tax credits to people wey buy, but plenty motor wey dem make for other countries no go fit get di tax credits.
Experts come talk say dis new regulation go helep provide one necessary cane to go with the sweet wey be di tax incentives. To achieve di administration goals go hard if auto companies succeed in weakening the rule. Di Environmental Protection Agency carry their proposed rule come out this spring and e dey for di process of dey collect public opinion before dem go finalize and implement di rule by the first half of next year.
Di wahala wey auto companies bring go influence di final rule, especially as Mr. Biden dey campaign for re-election for political critical auto-making states like Michigan and Ohio. 🗣️🗳️
Background: Di latest fight over di future of motor 🚗⏳
Di people wey no gree for the rule na di latest in a many years fight between Washington and the auto industry over climate pollution.
Na former President Barack Obama first increase fuel-economy standards to push start move to electric motor, and e manage get small support from di Big Three automakers for di country that time because his administration just helep dem come out from bankruptcy during the global economic crisis.
Later, President Donald J. Trump come remove the Obama-era rules sotay some automakers come dey shout say e don do too much. Since that time, Mr. Biden don dey try to bring back and add join the Obama rules. In 2021 he sign executive order wey go pursue policies to ensure say at least half of all new motor-dem wey dem sell for United States go turn electric by 2030.
But his administration come surprise di auto industry this spring with proposed rule wey pass boundary. His proposal dey aim for 67 percent of sales of new light-duty passenger motor-dem, from small car to pickup trucks, to turn electric by 2032.
Wetin Go Happen Next: E.P.A. go reduce their targets? ⚖️🔮
Biden administration regulators dey wait to hear wetin people get to talk before dem go change and finalize proposals. Historically, plenty proposed environmental rules don reduce to accommodate di wahala wey industries get.
Di auto-lobbying group talk say dem no dey against all regulations wey go helep di move to electric motor, but dem suggest for their talk say Biden administration suppose reduce their target to 40 or 50 percent electric sales by 2030, not di 67 percent by 2032 wey di current rule dey propose.
John Bozzella, di oga of di group, suggest for one blog post say Biden administration suppose include plug-in hybrid motor-dem for their target, instead of to dey push for fast change to all-electric motor. Plug-in hybrids dey use petrol engines join with battery power.
People wey dey represent the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency no answer di email wey dem send them to ask for comment. 📧🤷♀️
NOW IN BLACK AMERICAN SLANG
🚘⚡🌍 Auto Industry Squad Ain’t Feelin’ Biden’s Move to Juice Up America’s Whips
The big-wigs in the auto industry ain’t down with Biden administration’s big push for climate change regulation, ya heard? This law is about making sure two-thirds of the new rides rolling out in the U.S. are all-electric by 2032.
If this happens, it’s gon’ be one of the biggest moves any country made to combat climate change. We talking about seven billion tons of carbon dioxide getting zapped from our air — like every car in the U.S. getting parked for four years — pushing the auto industry to switch gears from gas guzzlers to the electric ride wave. 🌍💨⚡
Wednesday had the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, repping 42 car companies that make about 97 percent of the new whips sold in the U.S., speaking up loud and clear. They saying these proposed rules ain’t “reasonable nor achievable in the timeframe covered in this proposal.” ⏳⚖️
The Alliance dropped that their squad, which includes big names like General Motors, Ford, Stellantis, Volkswagen, and Toyota, “don’t believe they can hit the mark without jacking up the price of rides, limiting the options people got, and creating trouble for a lot of folks and territories in the U.S.” 💸🚘
Why It’s a Big Deal: Major industry ain’t feelin’ Biden’s climate policy 🤼♂️🌍
This new ride pollution regulation could be one of Biden’s biggest moves to fight climate change if it gets passed and holds up in court. That’s ’cause the smoke that cars are blowing out is the biggest source of climate-warming pollution in the U.S.
A 2021 report by the International Energy Agency said countries gotta stop selling new gas guzzlers by 2035 to keep the world from heating up 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) more than pre-industrial levels. If we cross that line, scientists say, dealing with the effects of heat waves, flooding, drought, crop failures, and species extinction is gonna be a whole lot tougher. 🌡️☀️🌊
But last year, only 5.8 percent of new rides sold in the U.S. were electric. Biden signed a law last year to encourage Americans to buy more electric rides by offering up to $7,500 in tax credits to buyers, but a bunch of foreign-made whips don’t qualify for the credits.
Experts are saying this new regulation is a necessary push to complement the sweet deal of the tax incentives. If the auto companies have their way and weaken the rule, hitting the administration’s goals is gonna be tougher. The Environmental Protection Agency dropped its proposed rule this spring and is taking feedback before they finalize and implement the rule by the first half of next year.
The beef from the auto companies is expected to influence the final rule, especially as Biden is trying to win re-election in key car-making states like Michigan and Ohio. 🗣️🗳️
The Backstory: The latest in a long beef over the future of cars 🚗⏳
The pushback on the rule is the latest in a yearslong beef between D.C. and the auto industry over climate pollution.
Former President Barack Obama was the first to bump up fuel-economy standards to push the switch to electric rides. He got a little love from the country’s Big Three automakers at the time ’cause his administration just bailed them out of bankruptcy during the global economic crisis.
Later, President Donald J. Trump dialed back the Obama-era rules so much that even some automakers said he went too far. Since then, Biden has been trying to bring back and build on the Obama rules. In 2021, he signed an executive order pledging to push policies to make sure at least half of all new rides sold in the U.S. are electric by 2030.
But his administration surprised the auto industry this spring with a proposed rule that went a whole lot further. His proposal is aiming for 67 percent of sales of new light-duty passenger rides, from sedans to pickup trucks, to be all-electric by 2032.
What’s Next: Will the E.P.A. scale back its targets? ⚖️🔮
Biden’s team is gonna take in feedback before they tweak and finalize the proposals. Historically, a lot of proposed environmental rules have been scaled back to accommodate industry gripes.
The auto industry’s lobbying group said it isn’t against all regulations aimed at pushing the switch to electric rides, but suggested in their feedback that Biden’s team should aim for 40 or 50 percent electric sales by 2030, not the 67 percent by 2032 that the current rule proposes.
John Bozzella, the head honcho of the group, suggested in a blog post that Biden’s team should include plug-in hybrid rides in their target, instead of pushing for such a quick switch to all-electric rides. Plug-in hybrids use gas engines along with battery power.
Folks from the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency didn’t respond to emails asking for their take. 📧🤷♀️

🚘⚡🌍 Auto Industry Not Supporting Biden’s Push for Electric Cars
The top dogs in the auto industry are opposing the Biden administration’s rigorous efforts towards climate change regulation. The plan at hand aims for two-thirds of new cars sold in the U.S. to be all-electric by 2032.
Should this be realized, it would rank as one of the most significant measures taken by any country to counteract climate change. We’re talking about removing seven billion tons of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere — equating to every car in the U.S. being stationary for four years — and pushing the auto industry to transition from fuel-burning vehicles to electric ones. 🌍💨⚡
On Wednesday, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing 42 car companies that account for approximately 97% of new cars sold in the U.S., voiced their concerns. They stated that these suggested rules are neither “reasonable nor achievable within the timeframe outlined in this proposal.” ⏳⚖️
The Alliance conveyed that its members, including notable names such as General Motors, Ford, Stellantis, Volkswagen, and Toyota, “do not believe they can meet the target without significantly increasing vehicle prices, limiting customer choices, and creating hardship for many people and regions in the U.S.” 💸🚘
Why It’s Important: Major Industry Opposes Biden’s Climate Policy 🤼♂️🌍 This new vehicle pollution regulation could be one of Biden’s most impactful measures to combat climate change if it’s enacted and survives legal scrutiny. That’s because vehicle emissions are the largest source of climate-warming pollution in the U.S.
A 2021 report by the International Energy Agency indicated that nations must cease selling new fuel-burning vehicles by 2035 to prevent the world’s temperature from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. Crossing this threshold, scientists warn, will significantly exacerbate the effects of heat waves, flooding, drought, crop failures, and species extinction. 🌡️☀️🌊
However, last year, only 5.8 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were electric. Biden enacted a law last year to encourage Americans to purchase more electric vehicles by offering up to $7,500 in tax credits to buyers, although many foreign-made vehicles do not qualify for these credits.
Experts suggest this new regulation is a vital supplement to the attractive financial incentives. If the auto companies succeed in weakening the rule, achieving the administration’s goals will become more challenging. The Environmental Protection Agency released its proposed rule this spring and is gathering feedback before they finalize and implement the rule in the first half of next year.
The pushback from the auto companies is expected to shape the final rule, especially as Biden seeks re-election in key car-manufacturing states like Michigan and Ohio. 🗣️🗳️
The Background: The Latest in a Long Dispute Over the Future of Cars 🚗⏳ This resistance to the rule marks the latest chapter in a long-standing dispute between Washington D.C. and the auto industry over climate pollution.
Former President Barack Obama was the first to raise fuel-economy standards to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles. At the time, he received mild support from the country’s Big Three automakers, primarily because his administration had just rescued them from bankruptcy during the global economic crisis.
Later on, President Donald J. Trump rolled back the Obama-era rules so drastically that even some automakers stated he had gone too far. Since then, Biden has been striving to restore and expand upon the Obama rules. In 2021, he signed an executive order pledging to implement policies ensuring at least half of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. are electric by 2030.
However, his administration took the auto industry by surprise this spring with a proposed rule that far exceeded these commitments. His proposal aims for 67 percent of new light-duty passenger vehicle sales, from sedans to pickup trucks, to be all-electric by 2032.
What’s Next: Will the E.P.A. Reduce its Targets? ⚖️🔮 Biden’s team will gather feedback before they adjust and finalize the proposals. Historically, many proposed environmental rules have been reduced to accommodate industry complaints.
The auto industry’s lobbying group stated it is not entirely against regulations promoting the transition to electric vehicles, but suggested in their feedback that Biden’s team should target 40 or 50 percent electric sales by 2030, not the 67 percent by 2032 proposed in the current rule.
John Bozzella, the group’s leader, suggested in a blog post that Biden’s team should consider including plug-in hybrid vehicles in their target, rather than pushing for such a swift transition to all-electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrids use gasoline engines in conjunction with battery power.
Representatives from the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency did not respond to emails asking for comments. 📧🤷♀️
