The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a bid by states, including coal producer West Virginia, and industry groups to limit federal power to regulate carbon emissions from power plants under a landmark environmental law
The court's decision to take up the case could complicate efforts by President Joe Biden's administration to issue new and more stringent regulations under the Clean Air Act aimed at reducing emissions linked to global climate change.
striking down a regulation issued by Republican former President Donald Trump's administration intended to constrain the regulation of carbon emissions from power plants. The ruling was made in January 2021 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Trump's deregulatory approach stood in contrast to that of his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, whose Clean Power Plan would have given the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions mainly from coal-fired power plants.
The Supreme Court in 2016 blocked Obama's regulation - the centerpiece of his strategy to combat climate change - from taking effect but never ruled on its lawfulness.
