In this episode, Elaine and Jordan discuss the new tailpipe rule announced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with Dustin Meyer of the American Petroleum Institute (API). The rule sets mileage and efficiency standards for new automobiles, effectively mandating a shift towards electric vehicles (EVs). The conversation covers the impact of the rule on consumers, the challenges with EV adoption, infrastructure limitations, government distortion of the market, environmental considerations, national security implications, potential legal challenges, API's efforts to raise awareness, and the role of everyday Americans in shaping energy policy.
