Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced this week the long-awaited defeat of the Biden Administration’s burdensome emissions regulations from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In 2023, Oklahoma joined a 21-state coalition to challenge the Biden Administration’s attempt to drive gas-powered cars off the road. The FHWA rule would have forced states to set declining emissions targets for vehicles that travel on federal interstates and highways.

It was just one of the previous administration’s attempts to force a so-called “green agenda” on American families. Estimates show that the cost to establish initial emissions targets required hundreds of hours of manpower, costing each state more than $600,000.

“The Biden Administration’s zeal for federal overreach was seemingly insatiable, particularly when it came to attacking the oil and gas industry,” said Drummond.
