Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to California Tailpipe Emissions Limits

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The groups, including fuel producers and sellers, told the justices that the court's intervention was needed to prevent California from effectively setting national policy.
50% : "The challengers asked the court to decide two questions: whether they had suffered the sort of injuries that gave them standing to sue and whether the Environmental Protection Agency program granting California a waiver to set its own standards for greenhouse gas emissions was lawful.
48% : Because the tailpipes of gasoline-powered cars are the nation's largest source of carbon dioxide pollution, California's use of the waiver to address that pollution soon grew into one of the nation's, and then the world's, most transformative and ambitious programs to fight climate change by transitioning away from gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles.
