Summary
The Supreme Court will hear an appeal from fuel producers challenging California's stringent vehicle emissions standards, initially upheld by a 2022 EPA waiver. The appeal questions whether these producers have legal standing to sue, potentially impacting future environmental regulations. The case will be reviewed in the spring, coinciding with the incoming Trump administration, which seeks to revoke strict regulations. The decision could redefine California's authority under the Clean Air Act and influence how emissions standards are set nationally.
