States and cities sue US agencies over weaker fuel economy rules
Original: States, cities sue US agencies over weaker vehicle fuel economy rules
A coalition of US states and cities has filed a lawsuit against federal agencies over new vehicle fuel economy standards that are weaker than previously planned. The plaintiffs argue the rollback of efficiency requirements will increase pollution and fuel costs. The legal challenge adds to ongoing disputes between Democratic-led states and the federal government over environmental deregulation.
Why now: The lawsuit escalates the political and legal fight over US climate and vehicle emissions policy.
