On March 20, 2024, Congressman Alex X. Mooney made a strong statement condemning the Biden Administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for enacting what he referred to as the "strictest-ever regulations for tailpipe emissions." The new rules, according to Mooney, are perceived as an attempt to phase out gas-powered vehicles and limit Americans' choices in the vehicles they drive.
In his criticism, Mooney characterized President Joe Biden's EPA as radical and accused it of overreach. He expressed his concern for West Virginians who heavily rely on gas-powered vehicles for transportation within the state. Mooney went on to denounce President Biden's actions, likening them to those of a dictator imposing extreme left-wing mandates through executive orders.
Mooney concluded his statement by firmly stating his opposition to any endeavors by the Biden Administration to transform the country into what he described as a "socialist utopia of overregulation run by nameless bureaucrats in Washington."
The enactment of these new regulations has sparked controversy and opposition, with Congressman Mooney being one of the vocal critics of the Biden Administration's approach towards auto emissions standards.
