Supreme Court Likely to Review EPA Carbon Rule for Power Plants, ABA Speaker Says

摘要

The U.S. Supreme Court is likely to address climate change again when the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan is challenged, a speaker said at an American Bar Association meeting March 26. The Supreme Court is receptive to granting review to climate change cases, Peter Keisler of Sidley Austin LLP said at the annual spring conference of the ABA Section of Environment, Energy and Resources in San Francisco. In light of the unusual and important underlying issue, the Supreme Court is likely to grant review no matter which party prevails in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit when challenges are brought after the rules are finalized, Keisler said.
