“If this was a ``Jeopardy!'' game, it would be called: Here we go again for a thousand. Mr. Speaker, if we look at what the EPA has done to overreach, we are talking hundreds of proposed rules that they have overreached on telling the American public what they can and can't do. Mr. Speaker, if it were allowed under House rules, I would address the gallery and I would ask the gallery, raise your hand if you like the fact that the President of the United States is going to tell you what kind of vehicle you can and cannot drive. It is not necessarily allowed under House rules, but I am guessing, because my district doesn't like it, that most Americans don't like it either. Today, we are going to stop the EPA from outlawing gas-powered vehicles. The CARS Act places a critical stop sign on this failed path toward forcing all Americans to own electric vehicles. Not only does this legislation prohibit the EPA from enforcing a ban, but it also acknowledges the abuse that the EPA has done. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to be an original cosponsor, and I thank Mr. Walberg for leading this legislation. The Energy and Commerce Committee is leading the way to energy dominance and allowing Americans to make their own choices that they very much need to be able to make. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from referencing the occupants in the gallery.”
