"Republican-led states on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to block the Biden administration’s effort to cut planet-warming emissions from the power sector.
Twenty-five states sent a petition to the high court arguing for the Biden rule to be stayed while their case against it plays out after a lower court declined to pause it.
The states argued that they are ultimately likely to succeed in their case and will be harmed if it’s in effect while the litigation against it is ongoing.
Their filing said that the rule’s requirements are “really a backdoor avenue to forcing coal plants out of existence — a major question that no clear congressional authority permits.”"
