West Virginia, Et Al v. EPA, Et Al - (09 Feb 2016)

EPA’s Clean Power Plan suffers setback

MANU/USSC/0012/2016

Environment

It stayed the “Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units” till petitions calling for review are disposed. The unenthusiastic response of the Supreme Court to America’s efforts to reducing carbon emissions, particularly from coal-fired power stations, is likely to dampen international efforts towards emissions controls in light of the recent Paris climate talks.
