Editorial: Biden doesn't need to weaken EV rules to get reelected

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The rules were proposed last year by the Environmental Protection Agency to ramp up sales of new zero-emission cars and light-duty trucks from about 7% of vehicles sold today to more than 67% by 2032.
53% : It's profoundly disturbing that the Biden administration is planning to relax one of the biggest climate actions it has proposed -- tough auto emissions standards designed to rapidly increase sales of electric vehicles -- in an apparent election-year concession to automakers and organized labor.
41% : Each year that we delay phasing out fossil fuel vehicles is another year we're failing the most vulnerable populations, including low-income people and communities of color hardest hit by the effects of air pollution, and future generations that will have to deal with the consequences of a warming planet.
25% : President Biden is mistaken if he thinks weakening environmental protections will help get him reelected.
