Supreme Court rules against EPA’s authority to limit emissions by remaking energy sector

“The EPA essentially attempted to wield not just power over emissions, but power over the nature of the energy industry in the US, and to determine what sources of energy could be used and which should be phased out, based on their own views regarding climate change and greenhouse gases. But the Court found that the EPA overstepped its authority by wielding “unprecedented power over American industry.” The Court stated that “There is little reason to think Congress assigned such decisions to the Agency.” – PM, June 30, 2022
