States sue Biden administration over highway emissions rule

(The Center Square) –

Agroup of attorneys general in 21 states is suing the Biden administration over new highway emissions rules.

The new rule by the Federal Highway Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation, which goes into effect on Jan. 8, would require transportation departments in states with National Highway System mileage to create targets for carbon dioxide reduction and send results to the federal agencies.

The states’ complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western district of Kentucky, argues the federal agencies don’t have the authority granted by Congress to require states to reduce emissions.

“Congress has not given FHWA or DOT authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions,” the complaint says. “Nor can the Agencies compel the States to administer a federal regulatory program or mandate them to further Executive policy wishes absent some other authority to do so—which is lacking as to this rule.” MORE

  1. But its OK that massive emissions from power plants are required to generate the electricity needed for the joke EV cartel. Got it. Virtue signaling at its finest. Elections are NOT going to fix this problem.

  2. Suck my emissions. My 50 year old car starts faster, runs better, and doesn’t have any computer codes.

    Oh, and look at my 1982 diesel Mercedes. It was the only vehicle that would even start when it was 0F.

    Fuck off.
