Potts Quoted on Mercury and Air Toxics Standards

Partner Brian Potts was quoted in a Wall Street Journal article, “Supreme Court to Review EPA Rule on Power Plant Emissions,” on November 25, 2014. The article discussed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to hear oral arguments in a case about the nation’s environmental standards related to power plant mercury emissions and the broader implications of the decision. Potts was quoted saying, “A lot of utilities weren’t that concerned about the cross-state rule because MATS [the mercury rule] was already requiring them to install scrubbers. But without MATS (or with a delay in MATS), the cross-state rule could become more significant.”
