"Supreme Court Halts EPA ‘Good Neighbor’ Rule"

"The decision thwarts the agency’s latest crackdown on smog-forming emissions."

"The Supreme Court has dealt another blow to a major EPA air pollution control initiative, freezing implementation of the agency’s latest crackdown on smog-forming emissions that cross state lines.

By a 5-4 vote, the court Thursday stayed last year’s “good neighbor” plan in response to applications by three Republican-run states and a variety of business entities.

While the decision written by Justice Neil Gorsuch does not kill the new requirements, the order will stop EPA from applying them to coal-fired power plants and other industries in 11 states while the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ponders the plan’s merits in a separate proceeding."
