Supreme Court Allows Fuel Companies to Challenge California’s Emission Standards

The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that fuel producers can challenge California's ability to set its own vehicle emissions standards under a federal waiver, focusing on whether they have standing to sue, without addressing the legality of the standards themselves. The decision emphasizes the potential harm to manufacturers from California's regulations, which aim to reduce greenhouse gases and combat climate change, but leaves the merits of the case open for future litigation.
