	Description:		This week, the House voted to undo three federal waivers that let California set strict vehicle pollution standards, setting up a fight in the Senate that could restrict California’s nation-leading climate authority and the auto industry at large. POLITICO’s Alex Nieves breaks down why Republicans are targeting these waivers, the uncertain outcome in the Senate, and the potential implications on multiple states and the car industry. Plus, a coalition of nearly 40 House Republicans called for the full repeal of all of the energy tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act as part of the party's budget reconciliation effort.
