California is preparing a lawsuit following the Senate's vote to block a state rule banning new gas-powered car sales by 2035. Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta argue the Congressional measures are illegal and threaten California's air quality objectives. The Senate's actions could significantly undermine California's longstanding efforts to reduce air pollution, given its considerable influence in the national car market. Democrats criticize the Republicans for alleged ties to the oil and gas industry and reassert California's rights to set its own environmental standards.
This is not about electric vehicles. This is about polluters being able to pollute more. - Gavin Newsom
