Mostly Republican states challenge whether EPA has authority to limit carbon emissions from US power plants
The US supreme court was on Monday hearing a case its conservative majority could use to hobble Biden administration efforts to combat climate change.
The administration is already dealing with congressional refusal to enact the climate change proposals in Joe Biden’s Build Better Back plan. Now the justices are taking up an appeal from 19 mostly Republican-led states and coal companies over whether the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to limit carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
