California cracks down on fossil fuel-powered trucks, buses and rail

California state regulators approved new rules last week phasing out combustion engines in trucks, buses and trains in the coming years as the state shifts toward zero-emission vehicles. POLITICO’s Wes Venteicher breaks down the details of these new rules and potential implications for other states. Plus, the Supreme Court announced on Monday that next term it will hear a case on federal agencies authority to interpret ambiguous statutes. The outcome could have major implications for the Biden administration’s climate agenda.
