I am wondering about EPA enforcement. When now retired President Trump declared immigration bans, one Federal court in Hawaii issued a nation wide restraining order. So, does anyone know why these barely legal manufacturers such as United States Stove Company; did not get a Federal court restraining order to stop the 2020 emission requirements? Or another way of asking, if a lawsuit had been filed to challenge these requirements, what what allowed these EPA requirements to survive a court challenge?
 
These are perfectly legal requirements. Spelled out many years in advance. There would be no grounds for a challenge
 
There are always grounds if just costs a lot of money and finding a court willing to accept the case.

The Affordable Power Plan which was the now prior administrations replacement for the Clean Power Plan just got thrown out so it looks like the CPP is the law of the land again.

New source performance standards are what sets emissions for wood stoves not app or cpp. The 2020 standards will again lead to better stoves just as all of the other ones did. There will surely be a few bumps in the road but overall I have no doubt it will improve things.
