The Biden-Harris administration is facing pressure to crack down on car advertisements that misleadingly characterize electric vehicles as “zero-emission” vehicles, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
In a letter sent Wednesday to Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan, four lawmakers led by Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) urged her to develop guidelines “to limit untruthful claims of zero-emission vehicles.” Ernst—alongside Sens. Mike Crapo (R., Idaho), Kevin Cramer (R., N.D.), and Pete Ricketts (R., Neb.)—noted the British Advertising Standards Authority requires auto companies to make clear in ads that EVs are only zero-emission when being driven.
The lawmakers’ letter further noted that EVs consume a large amount of energy, much of which is powered by fossil fuel sources like natural gas and coal. And they added that mining process for critical minerals required in EV batteries is even more carbon-intensive.
“The Biden-Harris administration’s heavy-handed push for EVs conveniently ignores the environmental impacts these vehicles have,” the four senators wrote in the letter, which was first obtained by the Free Beacon. “The lifecycle of an EV is far from zero-emission.”
“While the president and vice president may wish to mislead the American people, it is the FTC’s duty to protect consumers from false and misleading advertisements,” they continued. “We ask the FTC to investigate how EVs are being advertised and marketed to consumers.”
The letter underscores the ongoing debate surrounding EVs, which Democrats and environmentalists have pushed as part of their climate and decarbonization agenda, despite lackluster demand from consumers. Republicans and energy experts, though, have opposed EV mandates, noting they are generally more expensive, warning that required EV charging infrastructure is far from being built out, and arguing EVs themselves are reliant on fossil fuels for charge.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
