A coalition of 21 states, led by New York, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for repealing regulations that limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas power plants. The coalition argues that this decision undermines significant climate protections and poses risks to public health and the environment.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the repeal last month, claiming it would save the industry over $300 billion. The lawsuit seeks to have the repeal reviewed by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, highlighting concerns over the abandonment of pollution limits without considering health and climate impacts.
