The Biden administration plans to roll out executive orders and climate mandates affecting automobiles and trucks to reach a 50% reduction in emissions by the end of the decade, according to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry
During an interview with Yahoo News last week, Kerry spoke on President Biden's plans, but also on lifestyle changes people may have to make to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
At the beginning of the interview though, Kerry was asked about Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, or IRA, noting that it is only projected to reach a 40% reduction in carbon emissions by the end of the decade, shy by about 10% of the president's goal.
"Well, we're doing a lot more than just the IRA. The IRA is a package that in and of itself can get the 40%," Kerry said. "But in addition to that, the president is issuing executive orders. There'll be changes on automobile, on light truck, heavy truck, heavy duty, a number of initiatives that are being taken by states, subnational, cities…

In terms of electric vehicles, General Motors said by 2035 it only plans to make vehicles that operate on electricity.
Kerry was also asked about people who do not want to change their lifestyles for things like switching from gas to electricity for cooking.
"Unless somebody were able to provide that with zero carbon intensity, I mean, if you can do that. Now that's not doable today," he said. "So yes, gas at a certain point becomes a serious challenge here."

The Biden administration announced its latest home appliance regulations this week, targeting air conditioners in an action it said would reduce the nation's carbon emissions.
The regulations, unveiled Thursday by the Department of Energy (DOE), finalize energy efficiency standards for home air conditioning units, or window air conditioners, and portable air cleaners. The DOE said the move would cut air pollution and push consumer costs down by billions of dollars via energy savings.
"Today's announcement builds on the historic actions President Biden took last year to strengthen outdated energy efficiency standards, which will help save on people's energy bills and reduce our nation's carbon footprint," Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.
All you brainwashed climate change zealots, are you going to turn your AC off this summer? I suggest you should so you can experience the type of hell that your voting for all the rest of us.Quote:
Over the last several months, meanwhile, the DOE has introduced a series of energy efficiency regulations impacting various home appliances including gas stoves, ovens, clothes washers and refrigerators. Critics have blasted the rules as federal overreach and unnecessary given that the industry has improved technology without government intervention.
"What these mandates, what these standards do is enforce a level of efficiency that doesn't make sense," Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview last week. "And they compromise product quality. We've already seen this to an extent with cost of clothes washer standards."
"That's another problem this is a regulatory program that's very long in the tooth and you're getting to the point where clothes washers this might be the fifth time they've been regulated," he continued. "So we're really chasing after diminishing or nonexistent marginal returns."
A former senior DOE official previously told Fox News Digital that the Biden administration's actions would inevitably result in higher costs for consumers.
"Their philosophy is energy efficiency at all costs or energy efficiency no matter the cost," the official said. "That means we are going to see, as a result of their efficiency standards, higher-priced appliances. It's that simple.
"The reality is that we are not talking about saving huge amounts of energy from these new regulations."
