"Supreme Court to Decide Fate of Biden Administration's Methane Emission Limits"
The Supreme Court is likely to limit the Biden administration's plan to reduce cross-state air pollution, with several justices expressing skepticism of the proposed "good neighbor" rule from the EPA. The rule aims to cut ozone pollution from factories and power plants that drift into eastern states, but after litigation, it currently only applies to 11 states. Justices are considering blocking the rule entirely, which could undermine efforts to control pollution impacting downwind states' air quality. The EPA is using its authority under the Clean Air Act to require upwind states to reduce pollution, but the Supreme Court's decision could delay these efforts. In the meantime, individuals can take precautions to protect their health on windy days and support clean energy efforts to prevent harmful pollution at the source.
