States Challenge Trump's Repeal of Power Plant Pollution Rule
Original: States Challenge Trump’s Repeal of Power Plant Pollution Rule
A group of US states is legally challenging the Trump administration's repeal of a federal rule limiting pollution from power plants. The rollback lifts restrictions on emissions from fossil-fuel plants, and the states argue the repeal endangers public health and ignores the government's obligation to curb greenhouse gases. The dispute is expected to move through the courts, keeping power plant emissions policy at the center of the broader fight over US climate regulation.
Why now: The legal challenge pushes power plant emissions and climate policy back into the political spotlight amid the Trump administration's broader deregulation push.
