West Virginia Threatens to Sue

The top law enforcement officer in West Virginia has threatened to sue the Obama administration for issuing a new carbon dioxide emissions rule that he says is illegal.

 

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey wrote a letter to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy late last week that said the EPA had no legal basis for issuing its rule. The rule says existing power plants will have to cut their carbon emissions by 30 percent in 2030, compared to 2005 levels.
