<[link removed]> ConservAmerica Releases Statement on Court Cases Aimed at Auto and Truck Emissions September 15, 2023 Washington, DC - ConservAmerica General Counsel Brent Fewell released the following statement today in regard to cases being heard in the D.C. Circuit this week aimed at auto and truck emissions: “This week, the D.C. Circuit is hearing oral arguments in three important cases dealing with this Administration’s unlawful and erroneous interpretation of existing law to advance mandates for electric vehicles. In the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) tailpipe case, the agency must contend with clear Supreme Court precedent stating that the agency cannot cobble together mandates that pose major questions for society that are not backed by clear Congressional authorization. In the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards case, the agency must defend its attempt to avoid clear limitations to its own authority by using EV mandates as a basis for regulations. In the California Waiver case, the EPA must defend its decision to exceed the authorities granted by the Clean Air Act and allow the state to set standards that go beyond those that address localized air quality issues and that undermine markets in other states. “ConservAmerica joined in each of these cases as amicus not because we oppose addressing climate change. Quite the opposite. We believe climate change policy for the motor vehicle sector is so important that it cannot be enacted by executive fiat. Rather, the Administration must bring its case to the American people and their elected representatives.” ConservAmerica is a nonprofit organization that advocates for market-based solutions to conservation, environmental, and energy challenges.
