An appellate panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard oral arguments in the case West Virginia v. EPA.
The lawsuit against the Biden EPA power plant rules, finalized in April, was brought by a group of GOP states, led by West Virginia, and various industry groups.
