U.S. Supreme Court blocks the EPA’s plan to combat interstate air pollution
NPR, All Things Considered: Jonathan Adler, the Johan Verheij Memorial Professor of Law and director of the Coleman P. Burke Center for Environmental Law, discussed the Supreme Court decision against the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Good Neighbor Plan,” designed to protect downwind states from air pollution. “This is one of several decisions we’ve seen over the last 10 years where the court is concerned that if companies have to begin complying with environmental regulations while judicial review is still going on, they may make investments that the EPA could not have properly required them to make,” he said.
