Today: Attorney General Rob Bonta has sued the administration seven times so far this year over its environmental shifts; Tesla sets new sales record as EV subsidy ends; Mark Carney turns fossil-fuel cheerleader.

Welcome back: Rob Bonta says he has a “full tank of gas” to battle unlawful environmental rollbacks. Figuratively, of course.

In a week when it was announced that more than 300 Energy Department grants for projects in largely Democratic-leaning states would be canceled by the Trump administration, the California attorney general is gearing up to fight further policy changes.

“We’re 36 weeks in, 40 lawsuits in, and we’re ready to roll,” he said in an interview with WSJ Pro Sustainable Business's Clara Hudson.

Seven of those lawsuits focus on environmental issues, and more are sure to come, the attorney general said.

This week, clean-energy projects including a $600 million grant to upgrade 100 miles of electric transmission lines in California, regional hydrogen hubs in California and the Pacific Northwest, which were slated to receive more than $1 billion apiece, were shuttered.

The attorney general said his lawsuits aren’t about political grievances or ideology. “We don’t choose, we don’t have the luxury of choosing what cases we bring suit on,” Bonta said.

Tesla set a new sales record in the third quarter thanks in large part to U.S. customers who rushed to take advantage of the $7,500 federal electric-vehicle credit, which expired this week, the WSJ's Becky Peterson reports.

The electric-vehicle maker's global deliveries grew 7.4% in the period that ended Sept. 30, from a year earlier, in a surprise reversal of the steep declines that have plagued the EV maker this year. The sales turnaround, after two quarters of sharp declines, isn’t likely to last.

Chief Executive Elon Musk has laid out his vision for pivoting the company away from human-driven cars toward autonomous vehicles and robots.

He has said that new vehicles in its lineup won’t have steering wheels or pedals, starting with the two-seater Cybercab, which is scheduled to roll off the assembly line next year. For this bet to pay off, it will take a major shift in how consumers use cars, as well as changes to the various global regulations that oversee autonomous vehicles.

Canada, already the world’s fourth-largest oil exporter and fifth-largest exporter of natural gas, is leaning even harder into fossil fuels and reversing costly climate initiatives to offset the economic shock from President Trump’s tariff war, the WSJ's Vipal Monga reports.

Since taking office in March, Prime Minister Mark Carney has dismantled many green policies introduced by his predecessor, Justin Trudeau. He scrapped an unpopular consumer carbon tax, paused a 2035 electric-vehicle mandate and enacted a law giving his cabinet authority to override environmental rules for infrastructure projects like oil pipelines.

As an executive and central banker, Carney was a leading voice urging the business world to fight against climate change. But now he is fast-tracking approval of the expansion of a liquefied natural-gas export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia. The expanded plant, run by a Shell-led consortium, would become the world’s second-largest LNG exporter, shipping up to 28 million tons a year of the fossil fuel to Asia.

Climate activists are dismayed, but the Canadian leader is undeterred.
