US Top Court Limits Government Power To Curb Plant Emissions

The US Supreme Court has limited how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. <br />The court says that the Clean Air Act does not give the US Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that contribute to global warming. <br />President Joe Biden has aimed to cut the US’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade and to have an emissions-free power sector by 2035.
