Biden Administration Faces Challenges in Climate Policy and Fossil Fuel Regulation.

The Biden administration's climate rule was strengthened by the White House officials to take effect sooner and encompass a larger selection of power plants. The proposed rule is less aggressive on coal plants than the White House has wanted. The EPA proposal is an important step in fulfilling President Joe Biden’s promise to cut the power sector’s greenhouse gas pollution 80 percent by 2030, but some experts question whether the rule will deliver the emission reductions needed by the end of the decade. The rule is certain to face legal challenges and perhaps a Supreme Court gauntlet of six conservative justices, who have rejected past attempts by the agency to address power plant emissions.
