Longtime Oil and Corn Foes Unite to Battle Biden Car Standards.

A coalition of companies and trade associations, including the American Petroleum Institute and the National Corn Growers Association, are challenging the Biden administration's new pollution limits that they argue will unfairly promote electric cars and reduce demand for their own products. The challengers are filing petitions with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, claiming that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exceeded its authority under the Clean Air Act by setting pollution standards that only electric vehicles can meet. They also criticize the EPA for ignoring other environmental impacts and alternative solutions. The legal battle brings together traditional rivals in the oil and ethanol industries, who are both threatened by the growth of electric vehicles. [Extracted from the article]
