美国最高法院暂时叫停了美国环保署限制顺风污染的“好邻居”计划。 US Supreme Court temporarily halts EPA's "good neighbor" plan to limit downwind pollution.
美国最高法院以 5 比 4 的投票结果,暂时叫停了美国环境保护署 (EPA) 限制发电厂下风向污染的“好邻居”计划。 The US Supreme Court has temporarily halted the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "good neighbor" plan to limit downwind pollution from power plants, ruling 5-4. 该计划旨在减少州际空气污染,限制发电厂和其他工业源的烟囱排放,这些排放会给下风处带来雾霾污染。 The plan, which aimed to reduce interstate air pollution, was intended to restrict smokestack emissions from power plants and other industrial sources that burden downwind areas with smog-causing pollution. 拜登政府声称,该计划正在减少空气污染并挽救实施该计划的 11 个州的生命,因此做出了这一决定。 The decision came as the Biden administration argued that the plan was cutting air pollution and saving lives in 11 states where it was being enforced.
