#shorts On 4/18/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Senator Manchin has a statement today in which he indicates he would support a resolution disapproval of the EPA’s emission standards that were announced last week when we were in Ireland. He says that they would increase reliance on Chinese-made batteries, make a more energy-secure and powerful China. Do you have a response to that?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, the measures the EPA propose will, if implemented, do the following:
Save American drivers and truck companies an average of $12,000 over the lifetime of their vehicle, which is incredibly important.
They — they’ll cut nearly 10 billion dol- — 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions. That’s nearly twice annual U.S. emissions.
They’ll strengthen American energy security by reducing reliance on 20 million barrels of oil and — together with the historic investment that the President has already made — has secured — to build more electric cars here in America.
And they’ll put the United States on a path to outcompete China — you hear us talk about that often
