U.S. Supreme Court will review the EPA’s authority to regulate air emissions

The U.S. Supreme Court will review a federal appellate court decision regarding the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate air emissions. West Virginia is leading a petitioning the court to reconsider a verdict in which judges struck down a Trump administration policy providing states with more flexibility to cut carbon dioxide emissions. West Virginia, 19 other states and coal mining companies argue Congress did not grant broad authority to the EPA under the Clean Air Act to regulate carbon emissions.
