Blue states sue EPA over repeal of power plant emissions rules
Original: Blue states sue EPA over repeal of emissions rules for fossil-fuel power plants
A group of Democratic-led states has filed a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency challenging its repeal of emissions regulations for fossil-fuel power plants. The suit contends the rollback strips away limits on pollution from plants that are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The legal fight sets state attorneys general against the federal government over how far Washington must go in regulating power plant pollution.
Why now: The repeal of federal emissions rules is a significant environmental policy reversal, prompting immediate legal resistance from blue states.
