Supreme Court Considers Blocking Biden's Air Pollution Plan
TL;DR
The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case challenging a rule that requires states to prevent their air pollution from drifting into neighboring states, with three states, led by Ohio, claiming the rule is too costly. The "good neighbor" policy, strengthened by the Biden administration, aims to control pollution from power plants and other industrial sources, citing the Clean Air Act's mandate to protect neighboring states from pollution. The court's decision to take up the case on an emergency docket raised eyebrows, reflecting a trend of skepticism towards environmental regulations, with potential implications for future policies.
