21 US states sue Trump EPA over gutted emissions rules

A coalition of 21 states led by New York has filed suit against the Trump administration for repealing EPA regulations limiting greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas-fired power plants. The lawsuit argues the rollback will set the country back decades on climate and worsen public health outcomes. Pennsylvania's governor and Washington DC are among the co-plaintiffs.
