The halt of the Good Neighbor Plan means that states can delay implementing measures to control pollution, potentially reducing compliance costs for power plants and other industrial operations.
Supreme Court Halts EPA 's Good Neighbor Plan Implications for the Oil and Gas Industry In a significant decision affecting environmental regulation and interstate pollution, the Supreme Court has temporarily halted the Environmental Protection Agency's EPA 'Good Neighbor Rule.' This rule aimed to restrict emissions from power plants and industrial sources that contribute to downwind pollution.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, in her dissent, emphasized that this stay leaves upwind states free to exacerbate ozone problems in their downwind neighbors. The implications of this decision are significant for the oil and gas industry. However, this also raises concerns about increased air pollution and its health impacts, particularly in downwind states.
