E&E News quoted CEI’s expert on federal EV support

Daren Bakst, an energy and environmental analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, outlined one possible approach for rolling back federal EV support. The institute is a conservative think tank that targets regulations.

“In the upcoming Trump administration, agencies should methodically review how they are using regulation, subsidies, and spending in general to discourage Americans from driving gas-powered vehicles and trying to incentivize driving EVs,” Bakst said in a statement to POLITICO’s E&E News. “Then those policies and programs, consistent with law, should be eliminated.”
