California Sues Trump Over Fuel Economy Rollback
Original: California Sues to Block Trump From Weakening Fuel Economy Rules
California has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from weakening federal fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks. The state, which holds a longstanding waiver to set its own emissions rules, argues the rollback would increase pollution and consumer fuel costs. The legal challenge sets up another clash between California and the federal government over environmental authority, with other states expected to join the case.
Why now: A major legal battle over climate and auto policy between a large state and the federal government has direct economic and regulatory implications.
