Congress Blocks California's Gas Car Ban | JQJO

The US Congress voted to block California's ban on petrol-only car sales by 2035, overriding a state waiver allowing stricter emissions standards. This decision, supported by Republicans, energy firms, and carmakers, is opposed by Democrats and environmental groups. California's Attorney General plans to sue, and the move could trigger legal challenges. The ban's potential impact on other states that planned to adopt similar rules and the broader US car industry is significant, given the relatively low adoption rate of electric vehicles in the US compared to countries like the UK.
