Fossil fuel interests want the Supreme Court to review California’s authority to set stricter emissions standards for cars and trucks than the federal government.
A petition to be filed Tuesday asks the high court to overturn an April ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The judges unanimously ruled that industry groups and a coalition of Republican-led states had failed to show that a favorable ruling would fix the injuries they claimed from California’s waiver.
The petitioners to the Supreme Court include the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, Energy Marketers of America, the National Association of Convenience Stores, and a number of biofuel and agricultural organizations.
