240728 Supreme Court Drops Bombshell Ruling On Electric Vehicles.mp4

Jul 12, 2024 .............................. 5:19

The Supreme Court’s recent ruling on “Chevron deference” could affect federal regulations of everything from power plant emissions to electric vehicles to transmission lines.

This changes the mandate for the green new deal and electric vehicle mandates. This is a win for consumers to choose their own “independence machines” or vehicles. Now, courts will have more say in interpreting rules on everything from the EPA’s latest effort to curb power plant emissions to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's orders.

The Supreme Court last week overruled Chevron, what that means now, is that it is Congress, it’s the elected members of Congress that have to make policy decisions that impact the American people, not the armies of bureaucrats who have no democratic accountability. Elected officials don’t always make the best decisions, but it’s better than someone saying the new rules are there and too bad for you!

Some of the initial rollbacks include the EPA’s rules to cut carbon emissions from power plants as well as regulations to encourage electric vehicles. There are wide-reaching implications for the oil and gas industry because it will make it more difficult for federal agencies to regulate the industry based on their interpretation of ambiguous laws.

EV regulations are facing massive changes or removal, following this ruling. These regulations could face challenges that might reach the Supreme Court as soon as this Fall. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s power plant regulations and broader climate regulations also stand on shaky ground. This shift could significantly impact the push for greener energy solutions in the United States.

The Biden Administration’s strict tailpipe emissions standard has become vulnerable. They have had success watering down EPA tailpipe emissions rules in the past and some of their challenges are still pending and could be subject to the Supreme Court's Chevron decision.

A 26 state coalition filed a legal challenge in the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals against the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to block the agency’s new fuel economy requirements for passenger cars and light trucks, which the agency had finalized on June 7th.

Could this be the end of the electric vehicle mandate? The Supreme Court ruling certainly opens the doors for the mandate to be dropped. We are not there yet, we will keep you posted as this unfolds. Subscribe and follow so you don’t miss the updates.
