The Supreme Court decided not to block the Biden administration’s new emission rules aimed at reducing hazardous pollutants, particularly mercury and methane, from power plants.
The new emission standards require coal-fired power plants to ensure continuous monitoring and stricter limits on lignite coal, which is viewed as the lowest grade of coal, highlighting the administration's commitment to reduce neurotoxic and greenhouse gas pollutants.
The denial of the request to stop the new emission rules signifies a significant step for the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to tighten regulations on air quality amidst ongoing legal challenges.
The case emerged from a broader context of legal limitations on the EPA’s authority concerning air and water pollution, indicating a contentious regulatory environment.
