Alaska files to block emissions control rules

摘要

Anchorage—Alaska will file for a federal court injunction to block a new federal coastal Emissions Control Area (ECA) extending 200 miles seaward from its shores, said Alaska Attorney General Micheal Geraghty. Geraghty said September 24 that he will ask for an injunction to halt enforcement by the US Environmental Protection Agency of federal rules that require the use of highercost, low-sulfur fuels in ships serving Alaska from the US Pacific Northwest.
