California Sues EPA for Permission to Regulate Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Motor Vehicles
California v. U.S. EPA, filed

On January 2, 2008, California sued the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The lawsuit seeks review of EPA’s refusal to grant California a waiver authorizing it to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles. Other states with standards identical to California’s have joined in the suit against EPA.
