The U.S. House of Representatives voted Friday under a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution EPA’s controversial tailpipe emissions standards focused on mandating electric vehicles by 215 to 191, with eight Democrats joining 207 Republicans in support.

The resolution was brought by Representative John James (R-MI). “I’ve always said, if you want an EV, get an EV. But allowing the Biden-Harris Administration to continue stifling consumer choice will only harm the American people,” said James. “The Senate must take up this measure immediately.”

Speaker Mike Johnson said the rule is detrimental to American consumers. “By setting emission standards that only electric vehicles can meet, this rule effectively picks winners and losers in the marketplace. The radical agenda of the Biden-Harris Administration continues to overregulate our free market, and this latest move is yet another attempt to dictate what kinds of vehicles Americans can buy,” Speaker Johnson said.

The White House said President Joe Biden would veto the measure if it is approved by the U.S. Senate.

The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) applauded the move. “The members of Congress who passed this legislation understand well that there are many different tools that we can use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Minnesota farmer and NCGA President Harold Wolle. “While it could take years to realize the potential that EVs offer, ethanol is an effective part of a portfolio of options for addressing climate concerns, and it is fully available for use today.”

NCGA has expressed concerns that the plan will have long-lasting negative implications for the rural economy because it ignores the benefits of ethanol and is litigating in federal court against the rule.
