Overview

• The EPA's rule requires coal-fired power plants to capture 90% of carbon emissions or shut down by 2032.
• A three-judge panel unanimously denied the request to block the rule, citing insufficient evidence of immediate harm.
• Environmental groups praised the decision, emphasizing the importance of reducing climate pollution.
• Opponents argue the rule threatens power grid reliability and plan to appeal to the Supreme Court.
• The EPA projects the rule will yield up to $370 billion in climate and health benefits and prevent 1.4 billion metric tons of carbon pollution.
