i looked into this a bit more. The EPA gave out California a special privilege (the only in the country) to set vehicle emission standards. It has to ask the EPA for permission though, with only tiny scrutiny from the EPA.
California did this. It passed the EPA's tiny scrutiny test. California law moves forward for EV only in 2035.
The Senate is trying to use review of "federal actions" to claim the state law (california) is invalid. They're arguing the EPA tiny scrutiny and special privilege granted to California is the "federal action."
It's clever, but also a losing argument because the exception the EPA gave out is considered a "waiver" and not a "federal action" based on administrative law / legislative definitions.
having said that, SCOTUS is 6-3 so all of this really doesn't matter.

Chuds blame environmental regulation and safety standards for cars being more and more shitty and not capitalism, I'd love to see what happens when they scrap all of that in the coming years. It'll get even more enshittified

Yet another arena where America is simply surrendering to China, although we're also plugging our ears and going "LA LA LA LA LA" by not allowing their cars into our country to compete with ours.
Conspiracy theory: the US is intentionally trying to accelerate global warming because it knows it cannot win the economic war anymore and would rather destroy the earth than let someone else win
Conspiracy?

Between the giant methane plumes satellites keep picking up over the US and all the billionaires who act like they'll be happy living out the rest of their natural lives in sunless bunkers, that does seem to be the shape of things.
Why do you need a conspiracy? Capitalists will always choose short term profits, even at the expense of the Earth itself. It's that simple.
They're spiteful enough for me to believe this isn't a conspiracy
Mutually assured destruction brought to the logical conclusion.
