Legal war brews over EPA power plant rule
05/12/2023
EPA has rolled out its strongest-ever proposal to slash planet-warming emissions from power plants — but before the agency can tackle one of the nation’s leading sources of climate pollution, the strategy must first survive the courts.
Legal observers say that will be no easy feat.
EPA’s draft rule released Thursday comes less than a year after the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that scaled back the agency’s regulatory options for controlling carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector.
