The U.S. Congress is poised to oppose California's groundbreaking rule to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. A Senate vote could put an end to California's bold effort to transition towards electric vehicles amidst increasing friction between state and federal environmental policies. California, responsible for about 11% of the U.S. car market, argues that these regulations are essential for reducing vehicle emissions and climate change. However, Republican lawmakers cite economic concerns and a potential overreach of the Clean Air Act as justifications for their opposition, promising legal repercussions from California if they proceed.
California has implemented a groundbreaking initiative to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, intending to combat climate change and promote electric vehicles.
The Republican-controlled Congress may vitiate California's ambitious emissions standards by challenging the waivers that allow the state to set stricter rules than the federal government.
