U-S Senator Pete Ricketts (R-Nebraska) slammed the Biden administration’s burdensome new emissions requirements on American-made vehicles.  If enacted, the rule would require up to two-thirds of cars and trucks in the U-S to be electric in just eight years , and threaten the availability of gas-powered vehicles necassary in agriculture and less densely populated areas like Nebraska.

Ricketts says many parts of Nebraska don’t yet have the infrastructure to handle electric vehicles.

Ricketts comments came during a hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Climate, Clean Air, and Nuclear Safety.
