EPA's New Mandate For Vehicles

The EPA is creating new regulations for vehicles

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a new mandate that all vehicles must meet an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. The problem with this EPA decree is it jumps ahead of the free market economy. Instead of letting consumer demand be the driving force automakers will now be forced to pay an EPA-estimated $157 billion to comply with the rule. This mandate will also likely raise the price of vehicles by an average of $3,100. It wasn't so long ago that taxpayers bailed out the auto industry, and if forced to comply with these new EPA rules, taxpayers may be on the hook again."
