    Biden seeks to make half of new U.S. auto fleet electric by 2030.
    Reuters (Center) • Factual Grade 85% • 4 min read

    [President Joe Biden signed] an executive order aimed at making half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 electric, a move made with backing from the biggest U.S. automakers. The executive order sets a schedule for developing new emissions standards through at least 2030 for light-duty vehicles and as early as 2027 for larger vehicles.
    ...
    The 50% target, which is not legally binding, won the support of U.S. and foreign automakers, which said that achieving it would require billions of dollars in government funding. An environmental group, the Safe Climate Transport Campaign, said the White House did not go far enough and called automakers' commitment to a non-binding target unreliable.
    ...
    Biden has repeatedly resisted calls from many Democrats to set a binding requirement for EV adoption or to follow California and some countries in setting 2035 as a date to phase out the sale of new gasoline-powered light-duty vehicles in the face of opposition by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - The manufacture of any product with lawful applications should bring no liability to a manufacturer when it is used by another party in an unlawful manner. This should not be confused with the product itself being defective in nature when used as intended. [...] Getting hyped up about guns takes eyes off the bigger issues that guns have been associated with when they are used unlawfully (and no I don't own one).


Yes - While gun manufacturers should certainly not be responsible for acts committed using one of their products, it seems...



Unsure - It should depend on to what extent they're participating. For instance, ...
