US states and cities sue over Trump EPA’s repeal of emissions rules

I PROMISE I AM NOT BEING DRAMATIC BUT IN WASHINGTON DC WHERE ALL THE MASSIVE FEDERAL REGULATIONS LIVE AND DIE, TWENTY-ONE STATES LED BY NEW YORK JUST FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FOR SCRAPPING BIDEN-ERA EMISSIONS RULES ON COAL AND GAS POWER PLANTS, AND THEY ARE JOINED BY CHICAGO, DENVER, NEW YORK CITY, DC, AND PENNSYLVANIA'S GOVERNOR, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THE EPA SAYS REPEALING THE RULE SAVES THE INDUSTRY OVER THREE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS AND UNLEASHES AMERICAN ENERGY, BUT NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES SAYS IT SHOWS CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR HEALTH AND PUTS PROFITS OVER PEOPLE, SO NOW THIS WHOLE MASSIVE PACK OF STATES HAS GONE TO THE US COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DC CIRCUIT TO BEG JUDGES TO STRIKE THE REPEAL DOWN BEFORE FUTURE REGULATION GETS BLOCKED PERMANENTLY. ANYWAY THAT IS ALL I KNOW, GENUINELY.

OK SO THIS IS MY WHOLE PERSONALITY TODAY BUT I PUT MY DRINK DOWN BECAUSE THE EPA IS NOT JUST REPEALING BIDEN-ERA POWER PLANT EMISSIONS RULES, THEY ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO PREVENT FUTURE ADMINISTRATIONS FROM EVER REGULATING CLIMATE POLLUTION FROM THEM AGAIN, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT SAVES THE ENERGY SECTOR OVER THREE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS AND LETS UTILITIES FOCUS ON SAVINGS INSTEAD OF SHUTTING DOWN, BUT NOW TWENTY-ONE STATES LED BY NEW YORK PLUS CHICAGO, DENVER, AND THE GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA ARE SWARMING THE DC COURT OF APPEALS TO STRIKE IT DOWN, AND NEW YORK’S ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS IT SHOWS CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR PUBLIC HEALTH BY PUTTING PROFITS OVER PEOPLE, SO NOW THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM OF REGULATORS AND CITIES IS HEADING FOR A MASSIVE SHOWDOWN IN COURT WHILE THE SUPREME COURT HEARS A SEPARATE CLIMATE DISASTER LAWSUIT ON MONDAY. ALSO THIS BASS SLAPS.

A coalition of 21 states and several major US cities has sued the Trump administration over the EPA's repeal of greenhouse gas emissions rules for coal and gas-fired power plants.
