Some takeaways:
--Even Republicans nervous about losing jobs got in line.
--The bill, as written, doesn't just de-incentivize EVs but makes owning one more expensive.
--Automakers are likely thrilled that California's waiver is in the crosshairs.

The U.S. House just killed the EV tax credits. The Senate voted to end California's emissions rules. America is about to fall behind.
