Abstract

The article discusses a recent court case in which the Ninth Circuit panel amended its decision regarding the preemption of a local natural gas ban in the City of Berkley. The California Restaurant Association challenged the ban, arguing that it was preempted by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). The district court initially granted the motion to dismiss, but a three-judge panel later reversed the decision. However, the full court denied en banc review, leading to a divided opinion. The dissenting judges expressed concerns about the panel's interpretation of the EPCA and its potential impact on local climate change policies. [Extracted from the article]
