<p>The state of Texas is suing California over its plan to enforce new “green energy” car emission standards as the two states are locked in a battle over Congressional redistricting, The Daily Wire can first report.</p>
<p>The suit, which was filed in conjunction with America First Legal, argues that California’s attempt to set its own vehicle emission standards separately from federal law would result in material damage to other states like Texas and would effectively impose restrictions on the rest of the country.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump cancelled a waiver that California received, allowing it to create its own standards, but the state filed an appeal.</p>
<p>The lawsuit comes as Texas is locked in a fight with California over Congressional redistricting. The blue state has moved forward with a plan to hold a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/thats-out-the-window-california-already-moving-to-retaliate-over-new-texas-congressional-map">ballot measure</a> allowing it to engage in its own Congressional redistricting in retaliation against Texas’ redistricting plan.</p>
<p>“I am standing with President Trump in his effort to stop Gavin Newsom and California from shoving its insane so-called ‘green energy’ vehicle standards down the Nation’s throat,” Attorney General Paxton charged. “Texas will not look the other way while the failed state of California undermines our sovereignty, attacks America’s energy independence, and intentionally adopts destructive policies that would harm the other States.”</p>
<p>“California’s crusade is not about innovation—it is about abusing the legal system to flout federal law and impose its radical agenda on all Americans,&#8221; Daniel Epstein, the Vice President of America First Legal, asserted. &#8220;America First Legal stands proudly with the State of Texas to defend competition, consumer choice, and the rule of law. We will not let Gavin Newsom remake America in California’s image.”</p>
<p>Texas contends that California’s policy would not only “undermine the sovereignty of Texas,” but would also “inflict substantial economic harm” on the state’s residents and industries.</p>
<p>“Texas’s interests in this matter are significant and protectable under law. If reinstated, the waivers at the center of this suit would effectively allow California to dictate national vehicle emission standards, undermining the sovereignty of Texas and other States,” the state of Texas argues in its lawsuit, viewed first by The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>“This would not only impair Texas’s authority to regulate within its own borders but would also inflict substantial economic harm by threatening vital revenue streams from oil and gas production, increasing costs for Texas’s vehicle fleet, and diminishing the economic well-being of its citizens,” the suit goes on to say.</p>
