States Prepare Lawsuit to Force EPA Rules on Gas Plants

Original: States Plan Suit to Force EPA Rules on Existing Gas Plants

A group of US states is preparing a lawsuit aimed at forcing the Environmental Protection Agency to issue emissions rules for existing natural gas power plants. The legal action would press the agency to regulate plants that currently fall outside its carbon standards, adding to ongoing legal battles over federal climate policy and the scope of EPA authority over power sector emissions.

Why now: Federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants is a contentious and litigated policy area affecting states and the energy sector.
