Al Gore's Son Advocates for Biden Administration's Electric Vehicle Emissions Standards
-
Al Gore's son, Al Gore III, spoke in support of Biden administration's new electric vehicle (EV) emissions standards, following in his father's footsteps of advocating for climate change policies.
-
The new standards aim to reduce carbon emissions from vehicles and boost EV adoption to 70% of new car sales in coming years.
-
Gore III claimed the standards will secure America's leadership in manufacturing EVs, but experts disagree given reluctance to produce rare earth minerals domestically.
-
Like his father, former VP Al Gore Jr., Gore III has a history of making inaccurate climate change predictions not supported by data.
-
Experts believe the Biden administration trotted out Gore III to be a polished, familiar face to promote EVs, similar to how his father promoted climate change policies.
