U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Third GOP-led Challenge to Biden Administration Environmental Rules

October 17, 2024--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday denied a request from two dozen Republican-led states, utilities and energy interests to intervene in a significant Clean Air Act case that currently is being litigated in lower federal courts. This case involves the Biden administration's finalized rule sharply limiting future carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from existing coal-fired generators and future gas-fired generators.
