Clean Power Plan Opponents File Briefs with the D.C. Circuit Court
Statement of Environmental Defense Fund – February 19, 2016
“While some of the largest greenhouse gas emitters in America and their allies litigate to block clean air safeguards, our communities continue to suffer from dangerous pollution, the public support for climate action grows, and both citizens and businesses in red and blue states across our nation work to reduce pollution while building a stronger economy for all.
“The Clean Power Plan has a rock-solid anchor in our nation’s clean air laws, and will help us protect our families and communities from the threat of climate change. We look forward to presenting our case on the merits.”
- Vickie Patton, general counsel for EDF, which is a party to the case
