Supreme Court allows Biden's EPA regulations to stand amid legal challenges

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to block Biden administration regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This decision supports the administration's climate change efforts amid ongoing legal challenges from Republican-led states and businesses. The ruling differs from previous actions, as the court had recently blocked the EPA's "Good Neighbor Plan" due to concerns over potential harm to states. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, while Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch expressed some sympathy for the challengers' case. This latest order follows the court's earlier refusal to intervene in stricter anti-pollution rules for mercury and methane emissions. The court's current stance indicates a shift in its approach to EPA-related litigation.
