29 US states and cities sue Trump over climate protections

The ACE rule would allow states to set their own standards for existing coal-fired power plants, rather than follow a single federal standard.

Tuesday's challenge argues that it violates the EPA's duty under the Obama-era Clean Air Act to address carbon pollution from power plants, and artificially narrows the EPA's authority. Trump pulled the US out of the Paris climate change accord committing countries to mitigating global warming in his first year in office.

But the US energy mix is quickly shifting away from coal and toward natural gas, as a result of the fracking boom, and renewables.
