The US Supreme Court declined to halt a federal rule aimed at reducing carbon emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants, marking a significant victory in Biden's climate agenda.
The EPA's new regulation, effective July 8, mandates substantial reductions in emissions from coal and gas plants, targeting a 90% reduction by 2032 through carbon capture technology.
Challengers of the rule, including Republican-led states, argue that it effectively aims to eliminate coal plants, while the EPA maintains that the technology is proven and necessary to combat climate change.
The regulation comes in the wake of a Supreme Court decision that limited the EPA's authority, but it seeks to address the significant role of fossil fuel plants in greenhouse gas emissions.
