"SEC Climate Rule Sparks Legal Action and Global Policy Shifts"

Senator Tim Scott plans to introduce a measure in the Senate to overturn the controversial Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) climate rule, which mandates enhanced climate-related disclosures for public companies. The rule has faced legal challenges from both Republicans and Democrats, with critics accusing the SEC of federal overreach. Scott aims to use the Congressional Review Act to overturn the rule, garnering support from Republican lawmakers and even some Democrats, including Senator Joe Manchin. The future of the measure in the Democratic-led Senate remains uncertain.

Federal Courts Strike Down Multiple Biden Climate Rules

A federal district court has overturned the Biden administration's climate rule that required states to track and set reduction goals for greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles on highways, representing a major victory for Kentucky and 21 other states. The court ruled that the Federal Highway Administration overstepped its legal authority in attempting to regulate vehicle emissions and vacated the rule immediately, stating that it exceeds statutory authority and is "arbitrary and capricious." This decision follows a similar ruling in Texas and comes as part of President Biden's sweeping climate agenda to reduce carbon emissions.

"Texas Judge Strikes Down Biden's Unauthorized Highway Climate Rule"

A Texas judge, appointed by Trump, ruled against the Biden administration's highway climate rule, stating that it was unauthorized. The rule, issued by the Department of Transportation, required states to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles on the U.S. highway system. Texas sued the DOT, arguing that the rule exceeded its statutory authority and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. This decision comes amid other climate-related lawsuits between Texas and the Biden administration.

"Biden Administration Delays Tough Climate Rules for Gas Power Plants"

The Biden administration plans to delay final limits on emissions from gas-fired power plants to strengthen them, likely finalizing the rule after November, with its fate possibly resting on the 2024 election. This decision comes in response to pleas from environmental justice groups and aims to cover more pollutants, including climate, toxic, and criteria air pollution. The move is part of a broader effort to combat pollution from the power sector and address concerns of disadvantaged communities living near industrial pollution sources.

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.
