What now, after the Supreme Court stay? Moving forward with the Clean Power Plan
- Abstract
As you probably know, the Clean Power Plan (CPP) faces a serious legal challenge. Twenty-nine state attorneys general and state agencies sued the EPA in 2015, claiming that EPA exceeded its authority in drafting some aspects of the CPP. The Supreme Court in February 2016 issued a “stay,” or a temporary suspension, of the CPP while a lower court reviews this legal challenge.
