Part 5/7:
The coalition involved in this Supreme Court case includes several states such as Alabama, Texas, and West Virginia, many of which have refused to comply with California's Advanced Clean Car regulations. This legal battle is not merely about emissions; it touches on larger issues surrounding economic impacts and individual choices in the marketplace.
Chad Thompson, President and CEO of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), has raised concerns about the sweeping implications of California's electric vehicle mandate on consumers, national security, and electricity reliability. He emphasizes that Congress did not provide California with special authority to regulate greenhouse gases or enforce electric vehicle mandates at the federal level.
