A Deep Dive into EPA’s Power Plant GHG Pollution Rule

May 22, 2024

Foley Hoag partner Aaron Lang will join the Boston Bar Association (BBA’) for their webinar, “A Deep Dive into EPA’s Power Plant GHG Pollution Rule."

The program will provide a comprehensive assessment of the EPA’s recently released final greenhouse gas emissions limits for power plants, including the rule’s pollution control requirements, available control technologies, climate change benefits, environmental justice impacts, and electric reliability implications, as well as analysis of potential legal challenges to the rule that may be on the horizon. EPA’s attempts at setting greenhouse gas emissions standards for power plants has a storied and complex history spanning several presidential administrations and resulting in arguably one of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions in environmental law, West Virigina v. EPA.
