"Biden's New EV Rules: A Step Forward or Not Enough for the Climate Crisis?"

The Biden administration's new rules to boost electric vehicle sales are criticized for being too weak and slow to effectively address the climate crisis, with the finalized Environmental Protection Agency rules allowing automakers to continue producing gas-guzzling vehicles for longer and delaying urgent pollution cuts. Critics argue that the administration's concessions to powerful interests and organized labor are a missed opportunity to aggressively tackle emissions from transportation, the largest source of emissions, and that protecting good-paying, union jobs should not come at the expense of environmental protection.
