Yesterday, April 25th, the EPA unveiled their final carbon pollution standards for power plants. At a high level, the regulations will require existing coal-fired power plants that run more than 40% of the time and new natural gas-fired power plants that plan to operate beyond 2039 to cut ...
EPA’s forthcoming power plant greenhouse gas rules are facing potential legal issues ahead of their release, legal experts say, including whether the Supreme Court’s recent decision to review the landmark Chevron doctrine could affect the rule -- with

A new “good neighbor” rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency will restrict smokestack emissions from power plants and other industrial sources that burden downwind areas with smog-causing pollution they can’t control.
Reducing power plant waste water pollution A third rule would reduce waste water pollutants from coal-fired power plants by over 660 million pounds per year, according to the EPA, with the goal of protecting freshwater and drinking water resources for communities around the co...
The tools at the EPA’s disposal for the power plant rule were clipped last year by the Supreme Court, which said that the agency can only set rules that apply to each power plant individually instead of trying to shift the power system as a whole toward more climate...
In the 6-3 decision that was narrowly tailored to the Environmental Protection Agency, the court ruled Thursday that the EPA does not have broad authority to reduce power plant emissions that contribute to global warming. The precedent is widely expected to invite cha...
EPA has quietly updated the modeling for its power plant greenhouse gas standards, adding compliance scenarios for existing gas plants and others that were absent from the modeling when the agency first proposed the rule earlier this year, with the changes increasing by half the carbon emissions ...
