Supreme Court Questions Biden's Cross-State Air Pollution Plan
The Supreme Court, particularly its conservative justices, expressed skepticism about the EPA's cross-state air pollution rule during oral arguments, questioning the agency's consideration of potential changes if certain states were excluded due to litigation. The rule, aimed at reducing air pollution across 23 states, has faced legal challenges, with court rulings currently limiting its coverage to 11 states. The case has prompted debate over the need for Supreme Court intervention before lower courts make final rulings, with industry groups and GOP-led states arguing against the rule's potential economic impact and the Biden administration emphasizing the importance of emission reductions for downwind states.
