Oil and Corn Industries Sue Biden Administration Over Emissions Rules

Lobby groups argue new EPA regulations on vehicles will cause economic harm and are unachievable with current technology.

  • The American Petroleum Institute and National Corn Growers Association lead the lawsuit against the EPA.
  • New rules mandate significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions from cars, trucks, and buses by 2032.
  • Critics claim the regulations unfairly prioritize electric vehicles over biofuels like ethanol.
  • The lawsuit argues that the technology required to meet these standards is not yet viable.
  • Transportation accounts for over a quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, a key focus of Biden's climate plan.
