Fox News: House set to hold vote on bill striking down Biden's EV push: 'Radical and unattainable'
The House could vote on the CARS Act, which aims to block federal EV mandates and protect the auto industry from Chinese dependence. If passed, the legislation would negate proposed EPA rules on tailpipe emissions and prevent regulations limiting new vehicles based on engine type. Critics argue that EV mandates restrict consumer choice, favor China, and are more expensive than gas-powered cars. (, , )

Forbes: Some Of The Pentagon’s Drones Cost Their Weight In Gold
The U.S. Army is developing the Replicator project to produce low-cost drones, but the military's bureaucratic processes and contractors' profit motives make it difficult to keep costs down. In contrast, Ukraine has successfully deployed inexpensive commercial drones for tactical reconnaissance and attack purposes. The U.S. Navy is also investing in low-cost drone programs, such as Goalkeeper and RQ-21 Blackjack, but these drones still come at a high price compared to their civilian counterparts. The challenge for the U.S. military will be to break the mold and find ways to produce affordable drones without sacrificing capability.
