Kentucky and West Virginia are leading a coalition of 24 states suing the Biden administration over its soot rules, which relate to fine particulate matter pollution.
The lawsuit argues, according to the Associated Press, the rules would raise costs for manufacturers, increase electricity rates and block new manufacturing facilities and infrastructure projects.
According to the wire service, Texas and business groups, spearheaded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers, have each filed lawsuits concerning the rule.
Critics contend that the regulations, beyond their potential economic implications, were crafted without sufficient input from diverse scientific viewpoints.
