this should be fun more work for the legal firms, who needs employees to return to offices when they can rent them out to all the new layers needed? hiring trends among legal firms will be an interesting stat to watch EPA makes major move against Trump administration — and it could ignite a flurry of legal battles The Environmental Protection Agency has made a major move against President Donald Trump in favor of electric vehicles. This will most likely set off a domino effect of legal battles meant to preserve states' rights to keep their eco-friendly regulations. California's "clean cars" regulation is at the epicenter. Passed in 2022 under the federal Clean Air Act, it requires all new cars bought in the Golden State that are built in 2026 and onward to be zero-emission. Gas-powered cars built prior to 2026 would still be allowed on California roads. The regulation has been adopted by 17 other states, according to Ars Technica, and it seems that they'd like to keep it that way. This goes directly against Trump's policies. The president opposes tax credits for EVs, which were given under the Inflation Reduction Act during Joe Biden's administration.
