We’re in a climate emergency! Allow the EPA to enforce EV regulations!

I understand that Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) is leading a group of more than 200 Republican lawmakers in demanding that any final government funding bill contains language banning the EPA from enforcing electric vehicle regulations.
The proposed EPA rule in question aims to quickly transition the U.S. automobile market toward electric vehicles to cut down on carbon emissions.
House Republicans have even included a provision in their Interior-Environment appropriations bill that would stop the EPA from spending any money to implement the proposed EV rule.
I’m extremely angry over and frustrated by this. We are in a climate emergency. Our air is polluted. EVs are fast becoming cheaper than ICE cars and the IRA is ensuring that they are American made. This, in turn, is creating millions of jobs. What are these Republicans thinking to try to sabotage all of that?
Please ensure that the EPA is allowed to continue to enforce electric vehicle regulations without Congressional interference. Thanks.
