D.C. Circuit Pauses Litigation Over Clean Power Plan
On Friday, the D.C. Circuit granted the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) stay request regarding the Clean Power Plan and ordered the parties to file briefs by May 15 on whether the cases should be remanded to the EPA or just kept on hold. Since President Trump’s executive order last month regarding “energy independence,” the EPA has asked for additional time to review the plan and revise or rescind it.
