Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers (Courtesy of Nebraska AG's Office)LINCOLN–(KFOR Oct. 17)–Twenty-four states, including Nebraska, are suing the Environmental Protection Agency, by aiming to stop the Biden-Harris Administration from imposing an electric-vehicle mandate on truck manufacturers. Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers led the coalition in filing a briefing with the DC Circuit of the U.S Court of Appeals on Wednesday. Back in April, the EPA published a rule imposing stringent tailpipe emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles that effectively force manufacturers to produce more electric trucks and fewer internal-combustion trucks. The Attorneys General argued that EPA’s electric-truck mandate raises a “major question” that Congress has not clearly authorized the EPA to decide. “The EPA’s attempt to transform the trucking industry and supply chain infrastructure goes well beyond the agency’s authority. Once again, the Biden-Harris Administration’s radical climate agenda will harm Americans,” Hilgers said. “A national electric-truck mandate will raise prices for groceries, strain the electrical grid, and disrupt the transportation, logistics, biofuel, and farming industries that drive the Nebraska economy.” The brief points out that just 0.10 percent of all heavy-duty trucks sold today are powered by a battery, but that EPA’s rule would increase that number to 45 percent in less than a decade away.
