On Wednesday, October 16, the Supreme Court denied requests from industry groups and state attorneys general to freeze the EPA’s new safeguards on carbon pollution from power plants. In its order, the court stated that the rule would remain in place as proceedings take place in lower courts. This decision marks the third time this term that the Supreme Court has declined to block new EPA rules on harmful and/or climate warming pollution, including safeguards on methane emissions and air toxics. In response to the court’s decision, EEN President & CEO Rev. Dr. Jessica Moerman released the following statement.
