The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of President Joe Biden's administration by allowing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enforce its regulations on planet-warming pollution from power plants. This decision came as a surprise victory for the Biden administration.
The ruling denied an emergency request from more than 20 Republican state attorneys general and industry groups seeking to halt the new power plant rules while a lower court challenge unfolds. The EPA's new regulations will require existing coal and new natural gas power plants to reduce or capture 90% of their climate pollution by 2032, aiming to cut carbon dioxide emissions from the sector by 75% compared to 2005 levels.
