As of October 11th no fewer than 36 separate entities--states, cities, power companies, trade associations--had petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to review or stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). Eight entities have intervened on the EPA's behalf. More could jump into the fray in the next month. The rule at the centre of this scrum requires power plants in 28 states--everything from Texas eastwards, except Delaware and the six New England states, and including Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas--to reduce emissions that contribute to ozone and fine-particle pollution in other states. he rule is scheduled to take effect from January 1st 2012. By 2014 these states' sulphur-dioxide emissions must be 27% of what they were in 2005, while nitrogen-oxide levels must fall to 46% of their 2005 levels.
