Colorado AG Withdrew from Lawsuit Challenging Clean Power Plan

JANUARY 26, 2019

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser filed a motion to withdraw Colorado from West Virginia et al. v. EPA, a lawsuit challenging the Obama-era Clean Power Plan regulating carbon emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants. Under AG Weiser’s predecessor, former Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, Colorado was one of a number of states that challenged the Clean Power Plan. The motion to withdraw was granted on January 30, 2019.
