Description (excerpt):
The Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan is facing a legal challenge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit from several states and power companies. However, the plan also has received strong backing from prominent environmental groups, public health advocates, faith groups, electric utilities, several large corporations, and many states and state officials, among others. By April 1, 18 amicus briefs were led to support the Clean Power Plan. These friend-of-the-court briefs make clear that we must cut carbon pollution and expedite the country’s transition to a cleaner energy economy.
