Litigation Frontier: EPA Clean Power Rules

EPA Litigation Round Up:

• 2012 EPA rules curbing emmissions will be before the US Supreme Court this Wednesday. 
  • At issue:
    • whether the EPA acted properly by considering only public-health risks
    • and not considering industry compliance costs
    • when the agency decided whether to require coal and oil-fired plants to cut most emissions of mercury and other hazardous air pollutants.
• April brings US Court of Appeals hearing on the new coal power rules, which have yet to be finalized
