Court Tosses out CAIR Emissions Rule

A Federal appeals court struck down a US EPA regulation that requires states to reduce polluting emissions from power plants. Introduced in 2005 and set to take effect in 2009, the Clean Air Interstate Rule would have required 28 Eastern and Midwestern states to reduce smog and soot that can travel across state borders.
