President Biden's failed pick to lead the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration remains in charge at the agency and recently helped roll out aggressive emissions rules.
"It is outrageous that despite the fact that the American people's representatives in the Senate did not consent to Ann Carlson leading her agency, Biden is still keeping this radical in power," American Accountability Foundation President Tom Jones, a vocal opponent of Carlson's nomination, told Fox News Digital Tuesday.
In January 2021, the Biden-Harris transition team hired Carlson, then an environmental law professor at UCLA, to serve as NHTSA's chief counsel. While the position didn't require Senate confirmation, Carlson oversaw key agency initiatives in that role and has served as acting administrator since September.in February.
"NHTSA has authority over fuel economy for cars and trucks and has been at the center of the standards to reduce [greenhouse gas emissions] from the transport sector," she wrote in one of the emails from Jan. 19, 2021."I'm being appointed along with the deputy administrator as the first NHTSA appointees ever with serious climate expertise.
"Ann Carlson’s withdrawal is a powerful blow to radical environmentalists who are attempting to enlist NHTSA into an outrageous attempt at banning gas-powered vehicles," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who led GOP opposition to Carlson, said in May."I am proud of our work at the Commerce Committee to stop another extremist nominee from imposing a climate-alarmist agenda on the American people.
