Power Over Pollution: Exploring State Plan Enforcement under EPA’s GHG Power Plant Rule

Power Over Pollution: Exploring State Plan Enforcement under EPA’s GHG Power Plant Rule, a White Paper by Kate Konschnik and Ari Peskoe, describes how EPA and states generally enforce State plans submitted under the Clean Air Act, and how EPA proposes to treat enforcement issues under its rule for power plants. The paper also surveys laws in four states to assess whether they provide regulators with sufficient authority to meet EPA’s proposed requirements.
