States and industry groups had asked the Supreme Court to pause the EPA's rule that aims to curb emissions of methane from new and existing oil and gas facilities.
Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Biden administration to continue enforcing, for the time being, a new rule that aims to curb emissions of the greenhouse gas methane from new and existing oil and gas facilities.The high court rejected a request from nearly half of the states and industry groups to put the measure from the Environmental Protection Agency on hold while proceedings over its legality continue. There were no noted dissents.
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously denied the requests to pause the rule, finding that the challengers failed to satisfy the requirements for a stay during its review.The states and industry associations then sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court, arguing that the rule violates the Clean Air Act.
