"Obama Climate Rule Faces Critical Test In Court"

"The pillar of President Obama’s climate change agenda is going to court Tuesday, when federal judges hear oral arguments on whether the landmark regulation should be overturned.

Sixteen lawyers representing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and supporters and opponents of its Clean Power Plan will make their pleas to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in the complex case.

Conservative states, energy companies and business interests say the rule, mandating a 32-percent cut in power sector emissions by 2030, is an illegal and unconstitutional power grab by the Obama administration."

Timothy Cama and Devin Henry report for The Hill September 25, 2016.
