On October 29, 2021,
the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal of the D.C.
Circuit’s decision vacating the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE)
rule, the Trump Administration’s action to address CO2 emissions
from existing fossil-fired power plants. This marks the latest
development in a legal fight over what authority the Clean Air
Act confers on the EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from
the power sector—a fight that has spanned over six years and
three presidential administrations. |
Depending on the outcome, the Court could open the door to significant
new regulations or tie the Administration’s hands by restricting the
scope of EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act. *
