Supreme Court will consider whether oil industry may sue to challenge California's plan to require 'zero emissions' for new vehicles by 2035.
The Supreme Court opened the door Friday for a potential challenge to California's long-standing authority to set stricter emissions limits for new vehicles, including its 'zero emissions' goal for 2035. 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.
' The law says a waiver could be granted to 'meet compelling and extraordinary conditions,' but the oil producers argued the 'global climate is not the kind of California-specific condition' that justifies a special rule for the state. 'Under EPA’s view, California alone among the states can regulate the nation’s automobile market in the service of addressing climate change and forcing a transition to electric vehicles,' the fuel producers said.
