"California has implemented a groundbreaking initiative to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, intending to combat climate change and promote electric vehicles."
"The Republican-controlled Congress may vitiate California's ambitious emissions standards by challenging the waivers that allow the state to set stricter rules than the federal government."

A Senate vote could put an end to California's bold effort to transition towards electric vehicles amidst increasing friction between state and federal environmental policies.

However, Republican lawmakers cite economic concerns and a potential overreach of the Clean Air Act as justifications for their opposition, promising legal repercussions from California if they proceed.
