41% : The court will consider the case -- Diamond Alternative Energy vs. EPA -- early next year after Donald Trump has been sworn in.
40% : "EPA granted preemption waivers for California to tackle local problems like smog in the Los Angeles basin, where the pollution was both generated by and felt by Californians," the fuel producers said in their appeal.
37% : The justices voted to hear an appeal from oil and bio-fuel producers who sued the Environmental Protection Agency, arguing it had given California too much authority to regulate motor vehicles in the name of combating climate change.
