Supreme Court to weigh in on case involving California's power to clean its air

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Oil and other fuel companies are not regulated under the California standards; only automakers are.
47% : The case filed by oil companies, other fuel producers and 17 other states argued that the federal government exceeded its authority under the Clean Air Act when it granted California a waiver to set its own tougher auto emissions standards.
41% : But Congress wrote explicit provisions in federal law about when EPA can reject them: The federal agency can only reject California mandates if they are "arbitrary or capricious," if the state doesn't need them to clean its severe air pollution, or if they are inconsistent with federal law because there is "inadequate lead time" for manufacturers to develop electric cars or other technologies at a reasonable cost.
35% : The Biden administration reinstated the waiver in 2022, and oil companies and Republican-led states sued the Environmental Protection Agency.
