The U.S. Supreme Court today, Thursday, imposed limits on federal authorities’ ability to impose regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The decision by the highest U.S. court effectively undermines Joe Biden’s climate goals. By 6 votes (those of conservative-leaning justices) to 3, the court ruled that the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cannot issue blanket rules to regulate emissions from coal-fired power plants, which produce nearly 20 percent of U.S. electricity. The Biden administration’s reaction was harsh: a White House spokesman denounced “a devastating new Supreme Court decision that seeks to set our country backward.”
