Supreme Court Examines Biden's Air Pollution Plan and EPA's Power
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in February on whether to temporarily halt the Biden administration's air pollution plan, which requires factories and power plants in Western and Midwestern states to reduce emissions that drift into Eastern states. The administration's "good neighbor" rule, aimed at protecting downwind states from harmful pollution, is facing legal challenges from three states and energy companies. The rule requires power plants and industrial manufacturers to cut nitrogen oxide emissions, which contribute to smog and health issues. The court's decision on whether to suspend the program or add the case to its merits docket is pending.
