Can California Set Its Own Air Pollution Rules?
Briefly

The House of Representatives voted 246 to 164 to block California's plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035, with bipartisan support. If this measure passes the Senate, it could have significant implications for California and 11 other states using its emission standards, comprising over 40% of the U.S. auto market. The Clean Air Act allows California to set stricter emissions standards, and its regulations aim to facilitate a transition to electric vehicles amidst increasing scrutiny from Congress and the Trump administration.
The House of Representatives voted to prevent California's ban on new gas-powered vehicles, highlighting conflicts over state environmental regulations and their broader economic implications.
California's ambitious ban on gas-powered vehicles, a key element of its climate policy, may face significant challenges if Congress successfully blocks it.
