Court strikes down major pollution rule
By Ben Geman - 08/21/12 11:55 AM ET

A federal court has struck down an Environmental Protection Agency rule that forces cuts in soot- and smog-forming power plant emissions that cross state lines, dealing a major blow to the White House's air quality agenda.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule that forces cuts from plants in 28 states in the eastern half of the country, finding that it exceeds EPA’s powers under the Clean Air Act.

The court decision instructs EPA to continue administering a less aggressive, George W. Bush-era rule called the Clean Air Interstate Rule pending the creation of a "valid replacement."

1. This is not good news.

The R's won't be satisfied until the EPA is gutted and we're back to dirty air and water, dirty burning coal fired power plants.
When does it all end?
