Pennsylvania has filed a lawsuit alongside nearly two dozen other states to challenge the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to weaken regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The legal action seeks to restore stricter climate pollution rules that were previously in place under federal environmental policy. Lawmakers argue the rollback undermines efforts to combat climate change and threatens public health by allowing increased pollution from the energy sector. The case highlights a growing divide between states pushing for environmental protections and federal agencies scaling back oversight.
