A coalition of energy, biofuel and agriculture groups, – including the Illinois Corn Growers Association – are taking their challenge of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions mandate to the nation’s highest court.

The group filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the EPA’s decision to grant a waiver to California for its 2021-2025 electric vehicle mandate. Illinois lawmakers have considered adopting California’s strict EV policies.

The petition asks the high court to throw out an appeals court decision that rejected legal arguments by 17 states over California’s EV mandate. The states had argued it violated their sovereign rights to set their own standards or no standards at all.

“We are asking the Supreme Court to reverse the D.C. Circuit’s erroneous holding that fuel providers lack standing to challenge EPA’s unlawful California waiver, and also to provide long overdue clarity on the authority of EPA and California to mandate electric vehicles,” said Chet Thompson, president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers in a statement.

"Maybe they can undo all of California’s laws that bully other states."

Maybe Trump will be able to sell California to Mexico for a couple of bucks... Then again, why should they buy it....they already own it. Ask the cartels, they'll tell ya.
