States sue Trump administration over power plant emissions rules repeal
Original: "States and cities sued the Trump administration Thursday for repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas e
A coalition of states and cities filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Trump administration over its repeal of federal rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from coal- and natural gas-fired power plants. The rollback of the Environmental Protection Agency's power plant standards is being challenged in court as officials argue the repeal undermines efforts to curb climate-warming pollution from the energy sector.
Why now: The legal challenge to a major environmental deregulation move is a significant development in the fight over US climate policy.
