New York City's 'click to cancel' subscription rule takes effect, joining states with similar laws
The Big Apple joins a growing number of jurisdictions adopting 'click to cancel' rules as the future of a federal standard remains unsettled.
Washington, October 1 (Reuters) - A coalition of New York Attorney General Letitia James and 24 other states and cities filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to impede the repeal of greenhouse gas emission limits for power plants. The lawsuit, filed in the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, challenges the EPA’s revocation of the 2024 Carbon Pollution Standards, which mandated US power plants to diminish their greenhouse gas emissions by installing carbon capture technology.
James argued that dismantling these safeguards is an affront to American families, emphasizing that the consequences of allowing this administration to prioritize profits over people are too severe. Power plants rank as the second-largest source of US greenhouse gas emissions, trailing behind vehicles, and contribute to one-quarter of US carbon dioxide emissions.
The coalition filed a petition to annul the repeal and notified the EPA that it will initiate legal proceedings over the agency’s persistent refusal to comprehensively regulate pollution from existing natural gas power plants. According to the coalition, the EPA unlawfully revoked the regulations without evaluating reasonable alternatives or accounting for the health and climate costs associated with permitting additional pollution into the atmosphere.
