  Republicans say the phaseout of gas-powered cars is costly for consumers and manufacturers, and puts pressure on the nation's energy grid.

The U.S. Senate, with a vote of 53-47, blocked California's proposed ban on new gas-powered car sales by 2035, reflecting a broader pushback against stringent environmental regulations under the influence of former President Donald Trump's pro-fossil fuel stance. This decision, supported by all Republican senators and a few Democrats, underscores the ongoing tension between state and federal authority over environmental policy. Critics argue that the move could hinder efforts to combat climate change, while supporters, including the oil and gas industry, see it as a necessary step to protect jobs and maintain consumer choice. The Senate's action also reignites debates about the future of electric vehicles and the role of fossil fuels in the U.S. economy.
