House Republicans are expected to grill Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on the Biden administration's climate agenda, the push for electric vehicles, and the mismanagement of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Buttigieg will be testifying before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Wednesday morning amid a year of transportation blunders such as the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment and a plethora of flight cancellations.
Rep. Pete Stauber's office told the Washington Examiner he plans to question Buttigieg on the administration's"unrealistic" goals for EVs, as well as the monetary impact on American families to have to make a switch to EV and the technology's reliability compared to gas-powered vehicles. Many committee members are planning to highlight DOT's priorities in terms of climate change and"Green New Deal-style" initiatives that many conservatives believe are both unrealistic and expensive.
"Why hasn’t his department commented on the implementation of the California Air Resources Board's disastrous new emissions rules, how they will plan around the inevitable supply chain disruptions that will happen because of the rules, and what the national security consequences of a weakening domestic transport sector that will result from the rules' implementation?" LaMalfa asked.
