WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked a Biden administration environmental regulation aimed at curbing harmful air pollution that crosses from one state to another and contributes to the formation of smog. In doing so, the court on a 5-4 vote granted requests from three Republican-led states — Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia — and various affected industries, including natural gas pipeline operators.
If implemented in full, it would apply to 23 “upwind” states whose emissions can contribute to pollution in “downwind” states. The EPA said the plan, based on a requirement in the Clean Air Act, would help prevent premature deaths, reduce emergency room visits and cut asthma symptoms by limiting the amount of smog. Typically, states get a chance to draw up their own pollution control plans.
