A federal district court has overturned the Biden administration’s climate rule that required states to track and set reduction goals for greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles on highways.
In a sweeping judgment late Monday, Judge Benjamin Beaton of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky ordered the Federal Highway Administration to stand down on the rules, which the agency finalized in November. The ruling represents a major victory for the State of Kentucky, which challenged the regulations alongside 21 other states.
“President Biden’s radical environmental agenda has lost touch with reality, and Kentucky families, farmers and workers are paying the price,” Republican state Attorney General Russell Coleman said on Tuesday. “Like all Americans, Kentuckians love our trucks, cars and vans. With this victory in court, we’re slamming the brakes on the Biden administration’s politics that make no sense in the commonwealth.”
“If the Federal Highway Administration’s rule had not been struck down, it would have required states to set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from on-road sources. Multiple states commented that the FHWA rule may cause the elimination of future economic development and job creation projects,” Coleman explained.
Attorney General Coleman was joined in the FHWA suit by attorneys general from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming, according to a press release by Coleman’s office on Tuesday.
Judge Benjamin Beaton, 42, was appointed by former President Donald Trump and assumed office in December 2020. He is a member of the Federalist Society.
“BIG NEWS – A federal district court judge in Kentucky blocked President Biden’s radical environmental agenda that tried to drive your gas-powered car off the road,” Coleman announced.

Jason Miyares, Attorney General of Virginia, also cheered the ruling, writing, “Another day, another failed attempt by the Biden Administration to over-regulate Virginia drivers and attack gas-powered cars.”
