Oil and Agriculture Groups Sue to Halt Biden's EV Emission Standards
The coalition argues the EPA overstepped its authority with regulations that could phase out most new gas and hybrid cars by 2032.
- The American Petroleum Institute, along with other industry groups, filed the lawsuit in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
- The EPA's new rules aim for 56% of all car sales to be electric by 2032 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Critics claim the regulations ignore the benefits of renewable fuels like corn ethanol and threaten U.S. energy security.
- The lawsuit is part of broader resistance from industry and political groups against Biden's climate policies.
- The legal challenge could impact the 2024 presidential election, with both parties addressing concerns over job losses in industrial states.
