"Multiple States Launch Legal Challenge Against Biden's Clean Car Rule"

A coalition of 25 state attorneys general, led by Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, filed a legal challenge against the Biden administration's recent environmental regulations targeting gas-powered car emissions and promoting electric vehicles. The challenge, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, seeks to declare the new rules unlawful, arguing that they impose unworkable emissions standards and force expensive EVs on families, workers, and farmers. The regulations, which aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, have faced criticism from various state officials, lawmakers, and industry groups, as well as a decline in the share of Americans considering an EV purchase.
