Foes of California's electric car targets take their case to US Supreme Court

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : "The Diamond plaintiffs rely on the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling in West Virginia v. EPA.
49% : Energy companies, corn growers and industry associations have long opposed strong environmental rules in California, for decades the only state with power to request a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set its own vehicle emissions regulations that are more stringent than the federal standard.
45% : The Clean Air Act, which EPA relies on for setting tailpipe emissions rules, does not expressly address greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources such as cars and trucks.Plaintiffs in Tuesday's filing also said California does not meet the legal requirement for "compelling and extraordinary" provisions that would justify a waiver.
