💨 Abstract

The Republican-controlled Congress is poised to vote on blocking California's ambitious plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. The state, which accounts for 11% of the U.S. car market, aims to reduce emissions by mandating increasing percentages of zero-emission vehicles. The Senate vote follows a similar House vote, despite legal opinions suggesting California's policies are valid. California's Governor Gavin Newsom vows to sue if the measure advances.
