The United States Supreme Court ruled that fuel producers have challenged the decision of the environmental protection agency allowing California to impose regulations on car manufacturers concerning vehicle emissions and the production of electric vehicles.
On Friday, the High Court of the country rendered the decision 7-2, reversing a lower court decision.
The group nicknamed the “fuel petitioners” of the American Court of Appeal for the DC circuit decision included various entities such as Valero Renewable Fuels Company, LLC, groups related to industry and organizations such as corn cultivation associations.
“The government may not generally target a business or industry through strict and allegedly illegal regulations, then escape the proceedings resulting in saying that the objectives of its regulation should be locked as unassigned passers -by,” said the opinion of the Supreme Court.

“In the light of the previous ones of this court and evidence before the Court of Appeal, the fuel producers established article III to contest the approval by the EPA of the California regulations. We overthrow the judgment of the Court of Appeal and refer the case for new procedures in accordance with this notice.”
Explaining the Californian regulations, the majority opinion delivered by the nominated judge to Trump Brett Kavanaugh has noted that “regulations generally require that car manufacturers (i) limit average greenhouse gas emissions in their fleets of new engine vehicles sold in the state and (ii) to manufacture a certain percentage of electric vehicles in the framework of their vehicle fleet.”

“To date, act in accordance with the Clean Act, 17 states and the Columbia district have copied the California greenhouse gas emissions for new motor vehicles, the electric vehicle mandate, or both,” noted opinion.
The lifting of the regulations would probably lead to more sales by fuel producers, observed the high court.

“Here, it may not be certain, but it is at least” predictable “that the invalidating Californian regulations would likely lead that fuel producers finally sell more petrol and other liquid fuel,” noted opinion.
