Supreme Court Allows Fuel Producers to Contest California Emission Standards

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of fuel producers challenging California's stricter vehicle emissions standards, overturning a lower court decision that dismissed their lawsuit. The case centered on California's authority to set its own emissions rules under a waiver granted by the EPA, which the challengers argued exceeded federal powers. The ruling emphasizes the court's skepticism of broad regulatory authority and impacts California's efforts to enforce stricter environmental standards.
