"Dem States Want Court To Decide On Obama Climate Rule"

"A group of attorneys for Democratic states and cities is asking a federal appeals court to issue a ruling on former President Barack Obama’s landmark climate change rule for power plants.

The coalition, led by Acting New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, are fighting back against the Trump administration’s request to delay the litigation over the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan for another 60 days.

The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard arguments in the case in September 2016. But President Trump took office before the court ruled, and federal attorneys successfully asked the judges to hold off on their ruling to let the administration work through its process of repealing the climate regulation."
