A coalition of states, including Ohio, have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt a Biden administration rule that would cut methane from oil and gas production.

The state’s argument centers on the fact that the rule is too prescriptive in how oil and gas companies achieve the emission standards set. While the EPA does have the authority to set emission standards, too stringent or unobtainable procedures would hamstring production of fossil fuels.

This is the latest challenge of EPA rules at the highest court, as last week, a similar number of states challenged the EPA’s “Clean Power Rule”. 8/28/202
