Comments on: U.S. EPA heavy truck GHG rule drawing legal fire https://www.trucknews.com/health-safety/u-s-epa-heavy-truck-ghg-rule-drawing-legal-fire/1003187003/ Trucking news from the editors of Today's Trucking Tue, 16 Jul 2024 18:25:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: MARK SMYTH https://www.trucknews.com/health-safety/u-s-epa-heavy-truck-ghg-rule-drawing-legal-fire/1003187003/#comment-496910 Tue, 16 Jul 2024 18:25:29 +0000 https://www.trucknews.com/?p=1003187003#comment-496910 Nothing that the EPA sets as regulations is legal anymore as the U.S. Supreme Court just threw out the ‘Chevron Rule’ that has been imposed over the past 40 years. The court ruled in June that ANY state or agency of the U/S/ government cannot expand or make rules, unless they are approved by Congress.
The SC ruling means that the CAFE standards of California are NOT legal because Congress did not approve them.

With Trump probably going to win the November election and his statements about the poor range of electric vehicles. it’s a sure thing that the proposed 2027 EPA emissions standards will be thrown away as well as the 2035 Electric truck rule.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has just been cut off at the knees by the June Supreme Court decision of the Chevron rule.

But why stop there, ground aircraft as well.
It will be a green house gas free planet but it would be like living in the dark ages.
