Political Quotes

“As I travel throughout central and western Pennsylvania, I hear from constituents about the struggle to find electric vehicle charging stations and how they are often forced to wait hours for a charge when traveling long distances. Situations like this highlight the fact that our electric grid infrastructure is not prepared to handle President Biden's reckless electric vehicle mandates. These mandates would force more than two- thirds of new vehicles sold by 2033 to be electric. Despite more than 75 percent of Americans' strong opposition to EV mandates, the Biden administration is continuing its brutal attempts to force Pennsylvania families to purchase cars that they do not want to purchase and vehicles that they cannot afford. Last year, 92 percent of vehicles purchased were gas-powered cars, trucks, and SUVs. Complying with these backward regulations would require a 600 percent increase in the sale of electric vehicles within the next 8 years. We know that these vehicles cannot handle the rugged terrain and the harsh winters that we see in Pennsylvania. It is time to put a stop to Green New Deal policies that will strain our electric grid, make travel unaffordable and unattainable, and ultimately hurt all American families.
