Ashley Moody highlights legal win against Biden’s green energy agenda

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Attorney General Ashley Moody highlighted how a federal judge blocked the Biden administration’s highway emissions rule thanks to a 21-state coalition of attorneys general.

The rule by the Federal Highway Administration would have required states to reduce CO2 emissions on all vehicles that travel on roads.

“This court decision is a major victory against Biden overstepping his authority to push a radical political agenda on Americans,” Moody said in a press release on Tuesday.

“Biden’s highway emissions rule would have harmed our state’s opportunities for future economic development. We will continue fighting to protect Floridians’ interests against federal overreach,” she added.

The coalition’s challenge was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.

According to Moody’s office, the rule would have specifically forced states to establish targets to reduce greenhouse gas emission for all on-road sources.

Many states expressed concerns with the rule and how it could lead to the elimination of future economic development and job creation.

The other states involved in the case included Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
