A Historic Showdown Over State vs. Federal Climate Policy.
In a controversial 51–44 vote, Senate Republicans have blocked California’s plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. The decision overturns an EPA waiver that empowered California—and 11 aligned states—to enforce stricter emissions rules than the federal standard.
Supporters argue this protects consumer freedom and industry jobs. But critics warn it threatens decades of clean air progress and states' rights to set environmental laws. With lawsuits looming, the battle over the future of American transportation is just heating up.
