Amber Duke at The Spectator posted that Kamala Harris’s campaign claims she is now against an Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate.
“When she was a senator, Harris cosponsored the Zero-Emissions Vehicle Act of 2019, which contained a requirement for car manufacturers to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2040,” wrote Duke.
Even more damningly, Harris also supported an electric vehicle mandate when she serves as the junior senator from California. In April 2019, months after announcing her bid to become the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, Harris cosponsored the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019. The bill, which was introduced by Sen. Jeff Merkley and Rep. Mike Levin, presented “bold plan for transitioning the United States to 100% zero-emission vehicles.”The original version of the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019 would require 50 percent of new passenger vehicle sales to be automobiles that use zero emissions — electric or hydrogen-powered cars and trucks. The bill would require all new car sales be zero emission vehicles by 2040, according to text of the bill and a press release from Sen. Merkley’s office.The legislation gave authority to the EPA administrator to issue an “injunction on the manufacture of any passenger vehicles other than zero-emission vehicles by a vehicle manufacturer” by 2040.Harris supported an even more aggressive version of the legislation that would ban non-zero-emission vehicles by 2035, according to an archived page of her 2020 campaign website obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The White House also tweeted, with a picture of Harris without Joe Biden, that the administration has made “progress” in implementing electric-powered school buses.
WEIRD.
