Trucking groups, farmers file opening brief in lawsuit against EPA: 'unworkable mandate'
Fox News
Several lawsuits against the EPA over its big-rig emissions standards were consolidated into one suit, and the plaintiffs recently filed their opening brief with the court.
The American Petroleum Institute (API), a group representing 600 entities that produce and distribute the majority of U.S. energy and a prominent plaintiff in one of the suits, saw the court consolidate its filing with those from half a dozen other similar lawsuits brought by corn growers, trucking interests and a consortium of 25 states led by Nebraska.

"Americans overwhelmingly oppose the government telling them what to buy and drive, but this administration’s relentless pursuit of vehicle mandates does just that," Ryan Meyers, vice president and general counsel for API, said. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
