SCOTUS pauses EPA plan to keep smog from drifting across state lines
A Supreme Court decision could make it harder to clean up smog.
It applies to nitrogen oxides, a key ingredient for smog (also called ground-level ozone), and replaces state plans that the EPA found to of updated national air quality standards. It’s also supposed to ensure that those downwind states aren’t burdened by pollution they didn’t create and are able to meet national air quality standards despite their geographic disadvantage. They also argue that the EPA’s measures would put undue pressure on the power grid and wouldn’t make sense to start to implement since they believe the plan will ultimately get struck down in court.
