States sue Trump EPA over power plant emissions rule repeal
Original: States and cities sue over Trump’s EPA eliminating rule that limits emissions from power plants
A coalition of states and cities has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency over its decision to eliminate a rule limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The plaintiffs argue the repeal abandons the federal government's duty to curb pollution from one of the largest sources of US emissions, and the case is expected to become a major test of environmental regulation.
Why now: The rollback of power plant emissions limits is a major environmental policy change with immediate legal and public health implications.
