Party in the Park Entertainment lineup announced By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE — The entertainment lineup has been announced for Racine’s Party in the Park to be held Sept. 9-11. The annual event takes place at Racine’s Star Mill Park featuring live music, activities and the Cruisin’ Saturday Night Car Show. This is the 12th year for Party in the Park. Thursday night will feature the Ollom Brothers Band, Sour Mash String Band and Sheppard Brothers. On Friday will be performances by Dragons Eye and Strutter, a Kiss Tribute Band. Saturday will feature event headliner Dillon Carmichael, with Sweet Tea Trio and local band Next Level performing earlier in the evening. A country music singer, Carmichael grew up in the small town of Burgin, Ken- tucky. According to his website biography, “He absorbed the musical life through osmosis: his father and uncles performed in a Southern Gospel Quartet, his mother sang all over the eastern part of the state, and her brothers (John Michael and Eddie Montgomery) both enjoyed massive chart success. Carmichael fell in love with country legends like Waylon Jennings and Vern Gosdin alongside the rock and roll he heard on the radio as a kid, and by the time he hit his teens, he was writing his own songs and performing live.” Carmichael’s songs include “Dancing Away with My Heart”, “Hot Beer”, and “I Do For You.” Described as a “Big party, little town, great entertainment”, Racine’s Party in the Park includes a parade, inflatables, games, video arcade, kiddie tractor pull, arts & crafts AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio University has suspended another fraternity for violating hazing rules. The Athens-based school has notified the Delta Pi chapter of Sigma Chi that it has been suspended for four years following an investigation by the school that revealed student code of conduct violations. The fraternity accepted responsibility for providing false information to school officials or law enforcement and two hazing-related counts. The suspension comes about two weeks after the university found the Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta committed nine violations, including selling and distributing alcohol, reckless behavior and coerced consumption of alcohol. That fraternity was also suspended for four years. Members of the fraternities are prohibited from joining other frats on campus or starting their own, the school said. Both will be eligible to apply for reinstatement in 2025. Gov. Mike DeWine recently signed a measure that put in place tougher penalties for hazing at Ohio universities and colleges starting this fall.

Citing new information about the ability of the delta variant to spread among vaccinated people, the CDC also recommended indoor masks for all teachers, staff, students and visitors to schools, regardless of vaccination status. The new guidance follows recent decisions in Los Angeles and St. Louis to revert to indoor mask mandates amid a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations that have been especially bad in the South. The country is averaging more than 57,000 cases a day and 24,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. Most new infections in the U.S. continue to be among unvaccinated people.

Born July 2, 1929, he was the son of Howard and Clara (Elias) Burris. Pete married Betty Roush on Dec. 25, 1949, and they celebrated their 71st anniversary last Christmas. They had three children, Becky Chenoweth (Bob), John Burris (Ann), and Joe Burris (Lisa); five grandchildren, Megan Boucher (Tim), Jason Burris (Kristin), Maggie Chenoweth, Luke Burris (Maggie), and Anthony Ragalyi; and four greatgrandchildren, Bradley, Ryan, Caroline, and Reed. In addition to his parents, Pete was preceded in death by his son, John, in October 2012. Pete graduated from Wahama High School in 1946 and Molar Barber College in Wheeling, West Virginia, in 1948. He was a life-long member of New Haven United Methodist Church and served the church in many ways. When he was unable to attend church, he continued to teach his Sunday school class, “The Hustlers,” from home. Pete was the hometown barber for 67 years, and for many, the go-to person to get information about New Haven. He was also a part-time car salesman for more than 30 years and worked for several dealerships in Pomeroy, Ohio. Out of the Burris Barber Shop, Pete not only cut hair, but he also traded guns and sold cars. There was no extra charge for the entertaining stories. Pete took pride in his garden, and he especially enjoyed raising tomatoes. The family would like to thank the many friends who have assisted them over the past several years and Pleasant Valley Home Health. A special thanks is extended to Pete’s faithful caregiver, Karen Hindel. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Pete’s memory to New Haven United Methodist Church (P.O. Box 327, New Haven, WV 25265). There will be a graveside service at Graham Cemetery on Thursday, July 29, at 11 a.m. with Rev. Richard Nease and Pastor Paula Napier officiating. Arrangements are by Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia single-game football tickets are going on sale at 9 a.m. Tuesday, the school said. The tickets include games with Virginia Tech and Texas. Tickets and single-game parking are available online at WVUGAME. com, by calling (800) WVU-GAME or in person at the ticket office inside the WVU Coliseum. Tickets include gold tier-one sections, which have not previously been available to general public until this season with tiered pricing. Those are the highest priced, followed by orange tier-two and tier-three green. Single-game tickets will also be available for games against Long Island, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Oklahoma State. Tickets for West Virginia’s road contests are also on sale at WVUGAME. com. West Virginia opens the 2021 season at Maryland on Sept. 4. WVU was picked to finish sixth in the Big 12 Conference in a preseason media poll. Oklahoma was first in the poll for a sixth consecutive year. Big 12’s Texas, Okla. make request to join powerhouse SEC By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer Texas and Oklahoma made a request Tuesday to join the Southeastern Conference — in 2025 —with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey saying the league would consider it in the “near future.” The wheels are in motion for a monumental move in college sports, but the Longhorns and Sooners are not yet free agents. And it’s doubtful they want to wait until the contract that binds them to the Big 12 for four more years runs out to bolt to the SEC. It also might not be in the best interest of the Big 12 to have two lame ducks in the conference much beyond the 2021-22 school year. “It’s similar to a divorce, but it’s business relationship where multiple parties realize that they just can’t be together anymore,” said Darren Heitner, a sports and entertainment attorney based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “You try to come to a resolution where perhaps nobody feels great about it, but at least there’s something where they feel as though they’re getting some fair value out of the equation.” A day after Oklahoma and Texas notified the Big 12 that they would not be extending a grant of media rights agreement past its 2025 expiration date, the schools publicly stated for the first time they want to join the SEC. Oklahoma and Texas sent a joint letter to Sankey, requesting “invitations for membership to the Southeastern Conference starting on July 1, 2025.” “We believe that there would be mutual benefit to the universities on the one hand, and the SEC on the other hand, for the universities to become members of the SEC. We look forward to the prospect of discussions regarding this matter,” the schools said in a letter signed by each university’s president. The grant of rights that ties Oklahoma and Texas to the Big 12 and its eight other members runs concurrently with the conference’s billiondollar television deals with ESPN and Fox. Big 12 bylaws state members leaving must give 18 months’ notice and pay an exit fee equivalent to two years’ worth of revenue distributions. Big 12 revenue distribution fell off to $34.5 million per school this past year because of the pandemic, but it had been approaching $40 million per school before the downturn. That could mean about $80 million buyouts each for Texas and Oklahoma. The schools could also be on the hook for other revenue losses brought on by their departure. The Big 12 seems to have lots of leverage, but if there is a future for the conference without OU and UT, it needs to begin rebuilding soon to show stability heading into negotiations for its next television contract. “If you’re the Big 12, you understand perhaps you have some leverage here based on the fact that there is an existing contract, but ultimately pushing hard on that contractual arrangement and either forcing the parties to remain situated as is or actually litigating if there is a breach is less desirable than peacefully resolving behind closed doors,” Heitner said. Meanwhile, the SEC is poised to grow to 16 teams with Texas and Oklahoma, half of which have won at least one national championship in football since 1980. The SEC’s most recent television contract with ESPN, set to take effect in 2024, is expected to increase revenue distribution to its member schools to about $67 million per year. The news of discussions between the Texas and Oklahoma and the SEC broke last week during SEC media days in Hoover, Alabama. “The events of recent days have verified that the two schools have been contemplating and planning for the transition for months and this formal application is the culmination of those processes,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a statement Tuesday. Ashley Landis | AP Simone Biles of the United States watches gymnasts perform at the 2020 Summer Olympics on Tuesday in Tokyo. Biles says she wasn’t in right ‘headspace’ to compete and withdrew from gymnastics team final to protect herself.

A subject that was once taboo has become far more accepted and embraced. U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee CEO Sarah Hirshland applauded Biles for prioritizing her “mental wellness over all else” and offered the organization’s full support. USA Gymnastics women’s program vicepresident called Biles’ act “incredibly selfless.” Biles posted on social media Monday that she felt the weight of the world on her shoulders after an uncharacteristically sloppy showing during qualifying left the Americans looking up at the ROC on the scoreboard. The tension affected her practice. It affected her confidence. And when she stepped onto the vault runway, it finally found its way to her performance, too. She was scheduled to do an “Amanar” vault that requires a roundoff back handspring onto the table followed by 2 1/2 twists. Biles instead did just 1 1/2 twists with a big leap forward after landing. She sat down and talked to U.S. team doctor Marcia Faustin, then headed to the back while the rest of the Americans moved on to uneven bars without her. When Biles returned several minutes later, she hugged her teammates and took off her bar grips. And just like that, her night was over. “To see her kind of go out like that is very sad because this Olympic Games, I feel like, is kind of hers,” Lee said. Biles is scheduled to defend her Olympic title in the all-around final on Thursday. She also qualified for all four event finals later in the Games. She said she will regroup on Wednesday before deciding whether to continue. Biles’ abrupt absence forced the Americans to scramble a bit. The finals are a three-up/ three-count format, meaning each country enters three of their four athletes on an apparatus, with all three scores counting. Chiles stepped in to take Biles’ place on uneven bars and balance beam. The 20-year-old who made the team with her steady consistency pulled off a solid bars routine and drilled her balance beam set two days after falling twice on the event. Thanks in part to a little help from ROC — which counted a pair of falls on beam — the U.S. drew within striking distance heading to floor, the final rotation. Without Biles and her otherworldly tumbling, the U.S. needed to be near perfect to close the gap. It didn’t happen. Chiles stumbled to the mat at the end of her second pass, and any chance the U.S. had of chasing down ROC went right along with it. �CLASSIFIEDS 6 Wednesday, July 28, 2021 ANNOUNCEMENTS Wanted /DQG SDUFHO ���� DFUHV ZDQWHG ZLWK DFFHVV WR UXUDO FRXQW\ ZDWHU FDOO &KULV ������������ (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN EMPLOYMENT IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GALLIA COUNTY, OHIO Help Wanted General HVAC Company in Gallia County /RRNLQJ IRU KDUG ZRUNHU ZLWK H[SHULHQFH RU ZLOO WUDLQ ULJKW SHUVRQ� :LOO SD\ JRRG IRU NQRZOHGJH� ,I LQWHUHVWHG FDOO ������������ LI QR DQVZHU OHDYH QDPH DQG QXPEHU we will call you back.

But those experts were also critical, noting that there was no call for Americans to document their vaccination status, which created an honor system. Unvaccinated people who did not want to wear masks in the first place saw it as an opportunity to do what they wanted, they said. “If all the unvaccinated people were responsible and wore mask indoors, we would not be seeing this surge,” said Dr. Ali Khan, a former CDC disease investigator who now is dean of the University of Nebraska’s College of Public Health. Lawrence Gostin, a public health law professor at Georgetown University, drew a similar conclusion. “It was completely foreseeable that when they (the CDC) made their announcement, masking Wednesday, July 28, 2021 7 would no longer be the norm, and that’s exactly what’s happened,” Gostin said. The CDC may be seen as “flip-flopping,” he said, because there’s been no widely recognized change in the science, he said. Furthermore, it’s not likely to change the behavior of the people who most need to wear masks. “I don’t think you can effectively walk that back,” he said. Ken Thigpen, a retired respiratory therapist who now works for a medical device manufacturer, is fully vaccinated and stopped wearing his mask in public after the CDC changed its guidance in May. But he started to reconsider in the last week after his job took him to hospitals in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida, where he witnessed medical centers getting inundated with COVID-19 patients. “That delta variant is intense. It is so transmissible that we have to do something to tamp it down,” he said. “I loved it when I could call the hospitals and they said, ‘We actually closed our COVID ward today or we are down to two COVID patients,’” he recalled. “And now we are opening the wards back up, and the numbers are going nuts.” Ex-airman sentenced to 45 months for leaking drone info By Eric Tucker Associated Press ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A former Air Force intelligence analyst who once helped find targets for deadly U.S. drone strikes was sentenced to 45 months in prison for leaking top-secret details about the program. Daniel Hale, 33, told a federal judge he felt compelled to leak information to a journalist out of guilt over his own participation in a program that he believed was indiscriminately killing civilians in Afghanistan far from the battlefield. Hale “It is wrong to kill,” Hale said in a defiant statement in which he accepted responsibility for his actions, but also pleaded for mercy. “It is especially wrong to kill the defenseless.” But U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady told Hale he had other avenues for airing his concerns besides leaking to a journalist. Citing the need to deter others from illegal disclosures, he imposed a punishment that was harsher than the 12- to 18-month term sought by Hale’s attorneys but significantly more lenient than the longer sentence sought by prosecutors. “You could have resigned from the military,” or told “your commanders you weren’t going to do this anymore,” O’Grady told Hale.

Harry Dunn wipes his eye as he testifies during the House select committee hearing Tuesday on the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill in Washington. occurred and denouncing the Democratic-led investigation as politically motivated. Democrats are reminding that officers sworn to protect the Capitol suffered serious injuries at the hands of the rioters. All of the officers expressed feelings of betrayal at the Republicans who have dismissed the violence. “I feel like I went to hell and back to protect them and the people in this room,” Fanone testified, pounding his fist on the table in front of him. “Too many are now telling me that hell doesn’t exist or that hell actually wasn’t that bad. The indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful.” The witnesses detailed the horror of their assaults and the lasting trauma in the six months since, both mental and physical. At the hearing’s end, the witnesses all pleaded with the lawmakers to dig deeper into how it happened. The lawmakers on the committee, too, grew emotional as they played videos of the violence and repeatedly thanked the police for protecting them. Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy of Florida told them she was hiding near an entrance they were defending that day and said “the main reason rioters didn’t harm any members of Congress was because they didn’t encounter any members of Congress.” Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republicans on the panel, shed tears during his questioning. He said he hadn’t expected to become so emotional. “You guys all talk about the effects you have to deal with, and you talk about the impact of that day,” Kinzinger told the officers. “But you guys won. You guys held.” Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the panel’s other Republican, expressed “deep gratitude for what you did to save us” and defended her decision to accept an appointment by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “The question for every one of us who serves in Congress, for every elected official across this great nation, indeed, for every American is this: Will we adhere to the rule of law, respect the rulings of our courts, and preserve the peaceful transition of power?” “Or will we be so blinded by partisanship that we throw away the miracle of America?” The House Republican leader, Kevin McCarthy, withdrew the participation of the Republicans he had appointed last week after Pelosi rejected two of them. She said their “antics” in support of Trump, and his lies that he won the election, weren’t appropriate for the serious investigation. McCarthy has stayed close to Trump since the insurrection and has threatened to pull committee assignments from any Republican who participates on the Jan. 6 panel. He has called Cheney and Kinzinger “Pelosi Republicans.” On Tuesday, McCarthy again called the process a “sham.” He told reporters that Pelosi should be investigated for her role in the security failures of the day but ignored questions about Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who had identical authority over the Capitol Police and Capitol security officials. After the hearing, Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said the probe could move forward urgently, with subpoenas “soon.” The investigation is expected to examine not only Trump’s role in the insurrection but the groups involved in coordinating it, white supremacists among them. The probe will also look at security failures that allowed hundreds of people to breach the Capitol and send lawmakers running for their lives. Some of those who broke in were calling for the deaths of Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence, who was hiding just feet away from the mob. Capitol Police have repeatedly said they are hamstrung by a lack of funding. Senate leaders said Tuesday they had reached a deal on a $2.1 billion emergency spending bill that could provide more resources. Shortly after the insurrection, most Republicans denounced the violent mob — and many criticized Trump himself, who told his supporters to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat. But many have softened their tone in recent months and weeks. And some have gone further, with Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde saying video of the rioters looked like “a normal tourist visit,” and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar repeatedly saying that a woman who was shot and killed by police as she was trying to break into the House chamber was “executed.” Senators, White House in crunch time on infrastructure deal WASHINGTON (AP— Time running short, senators and the White House worked furiously Tuesday to salvage a bipartisan infrastructure deal, with pressure intensifying on all sides to wrap up talks on President Joe Biden’s top priority. Despite weeks of closed-door discussions, several issues are still unresolved over the nearly $1 trillion package. How money would be spent on public transit remains in question and a new dispute flared over the regulation of broadband access. Patience was running thin as senators accused one another of shifting the debate and picking fights over issue that had already been resolved. Still, all sides — the White House, Republicans and Democrats — sounded upbeat that an accord was within reach as senators braced for a weekend session to finish the deal. No new deadlines were set. “Good progress,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said as he opened the chamber. Republican negotiator Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, who took the lead in key talks with a top White House aide, struck a similar tone, insisting the bipartisan group was “making progress.” It’s a make-or-break moment that is testing the White House and Congress, and the outcome will set the stage for the next debate over Biden’s much more ambitious $3.5 trillion spending package, a strictly partisan pursuit of far-reaching programs and services including child care, tax breaks and health care that touch almost every corner of American life, and that Republicans vowed Tuesday to oppose. As talks drag on, anxious Democrats, who have slim control of the House and Senate, face a timeline to act on what would be some of the most substantial pieces of legislation in years. Republicans are weighing whether they will lend their votes for Biden’s first big infrastructure lift or deny the president the political accomplishment and try to stop both packages. Biden met Tuesday morning at the White House with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, one of the Democratic leaders of the bipartisan talks, to discuss both the current bill and the next one. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said after the president’s meeting with Sinema that the administration sees “good signs” but is not setting any deadlines. The White House wants a bipartisan agreement for this first phase, before Democrats go it alone on the next one. A recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC found 8 in 10 Americans favor some increased infrastructure spending, and the current package could be a political win for all sides as lawmakers try to show voters that Washington can work. Ten Republicans would be needed in the evenly split 50-50 Senate to pass the bipartisan bill, but it’s an open debate among Republicans whether it’s politically advantageous to give their support. Noah Berger | AP Cows graze as smoke rises from the Dixie Fire burning in Lassen National Forest, Calif., near Jonesville on Monday. Teams reviewing damage from the Dixie Fire have so far tallied 36 structures destroyed and seven damaged in the remote community of Indian Falls, a fire commander said. Western wildfires calm down in cool weather INDIAN FALLS, Calif. (AP) — Cooler weather on Tuesday helped calm two gigantic wildfires in the U.S. West, but property losses mounted in a tiny California community savaged by flames last weekend and in a remote area of Oregon that are both bracing for more hot, dry conditions that have been making the blazes so explosive. Teams reviewing damage from the massive Dixie Fire in the mountains of Northern California have so far tallied 36 structures destroyed and seven damaged in the remote community of Indian Falls, said Nick Truax, an incident commander for the fire. It’s unclear if that figure included homes or smaller buildings. The assessment was about half done, Truax said in an online briefing Monday night, and the work depends on fire activity. The Dixie Fire has scorched more than 325 square miles (842 square kilometers), an area bigger than New York City, and it was partially contained Tuesday. More than 10,000 homes were threatened in the region about 175 miles (282 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco. A historic drought and recent heat waves tied to climate change have made wildfires harder to fight in the American West. Scientists say climate change has made the region much warmer and drier in the past 30 years and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. An inversion layer, which is a cap of relatively warmer air over cooler air, trapped smoke over much of the fire Monday, and the shade helped lower temperatures and keep humidity up, incident meteorologist Julia Ruthford said. Similar smoke conditions were expected through Tuesday. Monsoon moisture was streaming in over the region but only light showers were likely near the fire. A return to hotter, drier weather was expected later in the week. The Dixie Fire, burning mostly on federal land, is among dozens of large blazes in the U.S. With so many fires, officials have to prioritize federal resources, said Nickie Johnny, incident commander for the Dixie’s east section, crediting help from local governments and California’s firefighting agency. “I just wanted to thank them for that because we are strapped federally with resources all over the nation,” she said. Authorities also were hopeful that cool temperatures, increased humidity and isolated showers will help them make more progress against the nation’s largest wildfire, the Bootleg Fire in southern Oregon. Crews have it more than halfway contained after it scorched 640 square miles (1,657 square kilometers) of remote land. “The mild weather will have a short-term calming effect on the fire behavior. But due to the extremely dry conditions and fuels, as the week progresses and temperatures rise, aggressive fire behavior is likely to quickly rebound,” a situation report said Tuesday. The lightning-sparked fire has destroyed 161 homes, 247 outbuildings and 342 vehicles in Klamath and Lake counties, the report said, cautioning that the numbers could increase as firefighters work through the inner area of the fire. Elsewhere, high heat was expected to return to the northern Rocky Mountains, where thick smoke from many wildfires drove pollution readings to unhealthy levels. �Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, July 28, 2021 9 Better Health Starts With Us.

He’s then aiming for even tougher antipollution rules after that to forcefully reduce greenhouse gas emissions and nudge 40% of U.S. drivers into electric vehicles by decade’s end. The proposed rules from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation reflect Biden’s pledge to attack climate change but also balance concerns of the auto industry, which is urging a slower transition to zero-emission electric vehicles. The regulatory action would tighten tailpipe emissions standards rolled back under President Donald Trump. The proposed rules are expected David Zalubowski | AP file President Joe Biden is proposing regulatory action that would tighten tailpipe emissions standards rolled back under President Donald Trump. Tesla is one of only three automakers that complied with existing standards in 2019, the latest year figures are available from the EPA. to be released as early as next week, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the rules haven’t been finalized. Environmental groups said Tuesday that the proposal did not go far enough. “The world isn’t the same as it was in 2012 when President Obama signed the clean car standards,” said Katherine Garcia, acting director of Sierra Club’s Clean Trans- portation for All campaign. “Millions of Americans have had to swelter in heat waves, evacuate their homes in the face of onrushing wildfires, or bail out flooded homes.” Biden has set a goal of cutting U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by at least half by 2030. The transportation sector is the single biggest U.S. contributor to climate change. The proposed rules would begin with the 2023 car model year, applying California’s 2019 framework agreement on emissions standards reached with Ford, Volkswagen, Honda, BMW and Volvo, according to three of the officials. The California deal increases the mileage standard and cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 3.7% per year. Requirements ramp up in 2025 to Obama-era levels of a 5% annual increase in the mileage standard and a similar cut in emissions. They then go higher than that for model year 2026, one of the people said, perhaps in the range of 6% or 7%. Neither EPA nor the Transportation Department would comment on the proposal. The new standards aim to go partway in meeting the call from environmental groups, which had pushed for a more immediate return to at least the Obama-era standards. “We’re at the climate cliff, and the stakes are too high to aim low,” the Center for Biological Diversity will write in a full-page ad in The New York Times on Wednesday urging tough action. Dan Becker, director of the center’s Safe Climate Transportation Campaign, on Tuesday said the administration’s proposal is inadequate because it embraces two years of the California deal, which offered a number of exemptions. In the proposed rule, the EPA is likely to make a nonbinding statement that the requirements will ramp up even faster starting in 2027, forcing the industry to sell more zero-emissions electric vehicles, the industry and government officials said. For now, the agency is seeking to ask that 40% of all new car sales be electric vehicles by 2030, according to one of the officials. The Biden administration defers for now in setting post2026 mileage requirements, setting the stage for bigger fights ahead over the level of government effort needed to combat climate change against the future of the auto industry, which currently draws most of its profits from gas-powered SUV sales.
