This joint resolution blocks a new safety rule for hydrogen vehicles. The rule would have required stronger fuel systems and storage tanks to prevent leaks and explosions. Congress is using its power to overturn the regulation before it takes effect.

Hydrogen vehicles are a new technology, and safety rules affect how quickly they can be sold. Automakers and energy companies have a lot at stake in whether these rules are strict or relaxed.
