West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman are leading a lawsuit against the EPA over it latest crop of emissions rules.
A group of Republican attorneys general from 25 states have sued the EPA with the goal of blocking the latest set of emissions regulations passed by the Biden Administration targeting cars and light trucks, which further encourages automakers to adopt EV platforms. The plaintiffs claim that the EPA does not have the authority to make such sweeping changes under the Clean Air Act.
The agency states that that range is reflective of the fact that automakers will have other alternatives to reduce emissions than solely pure electric offerings. The rule’s Republican challengers feel differently, claiming the EPA is engaged in a top-down rework of the auto industry. They argue this goes beyond the purview of the Clean Air Act. EPA chief Michael Regan has previously stated that the EPA is not attempting to mandate EV production or adoption via this stricter emissions rule.
