Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York joined in filing the motion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Republicans are trying to roll back federal clean car standards. California won\u2019t sit back and watch red states put the profits of Big Oil over our health and our planet,\u201d said Gov. Gavin Newsom said on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman said the rules would harm the American economy, threaten jobs and raise prices while undermining the U.S. electricity grid. Coleman also said there is very little consumer interest in electric vehicles in his state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Biden administration is willing to sacrifice the American auto industry and its workers in service of its radical green agenda. We just aren&#8217;t buying it,&#8221; Coleman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transportation is the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, and passenger cars account for more than half of those emissions. Motor vehicles also&nbsp;contribute to ozone and particulate matter, which are linked to premature death, respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems and cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reuters contributed to this article.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of 22 states led by\u00a0California\u00a0and four cities are backing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&#8217;s new tailpipe emissions rules after 25 Republican-led states sued last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":270400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"News","MSN_Publish_Option":true,"MSN_Is_Local_News":true,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[{\"longitude\":\"-117.164\",\"latitude\":\"32.7158\",\"locality\":\"San Diego\",\"subRegion\":\"San Diego County\",\"region\":\"CA\",\"country\":\"United States\"}]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":"","newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2024-04-23T17:13:27Z","apple_news_api_id":"c804d2cc-10eb-44d4-a112-2106fc6fa4d1","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2024-04-24T08:37:31Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AyATSzBDrRNShEiEG_G-k0Q","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6],"tags":[295404,6457,761,25258,295403,269765],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[266523],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<title>California Leads &#039;Blue State&#039;
