"Supreme Court Reviews Challenges to EPA's 'Good Neighbor' Pollution Rules"
The Supreme Court is considering whether to block a Biden administration policy aimed at reducing air pollution that crosses state lines, with three Republican-led states and various industries challenging the "good neighbor" plan introduced by the EPA. The policy seeks to curb nitrogen oxide pollution from industrial facilities in 23 "upwind" states that contribute to pollution in "downwind" states. The court's conservative majority has been skeptical of broad federal regulatory power, and the policy has already been blocked in 12 of the 23 states it applies to. The EPA defends the rule, stating that it is in "full force" and able to "function properly" in the 11 states where it is in effect.
