US Supreme Court temporarily halts EPA's "good neighbor" plan to limit cross-state air pollution.

The US Supreme Court has temporarily halted the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "good neighbor" plan, which aimed to limit downwind pollution from power plants. The 5-4 vote blocked the Biden administration's efforts to regulate cross-state air pollution, with the majority arguing that the EPA failed to provide a reasonable explanation for its federal implementation plan to control ozone pollution. The case will continue pending resolution of legal challenges.
