Supreme Court curbs EPA’s power to limit greenhouse gas emissions
A group of red states and coal companies contested a federal appeals court decision that said the EPA could issue regulations on greenhouse gases.
Supreme Court restricts the EPA's authority to mandate carbon emissions reductions
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to mandate carbon emissions from existing power plants.

I hope this reigning in of alphabet agencies and their "rules" applies to all of them.
Shame it took the SC to make your elected reps do their job.
ASGH
I'm going to fly my private jet to DC and truck in a bunch of people to protest this ruling!
I thought the EPA lost a case very similar around 2016?
There is another one that’s headed to the supreme court where the SEC lost in a state Supreme Court. Basically stating that Congress cannot delegate its powers to create law to another agency. It’s a lazy tactic and gets abused obviously. These agencies pass regulations that would never pass as a law. That is basically what the decision says today and the same that the SEC lost in the state Supreme Court.

Can I let refrigerant loose in the atmosphere freely again?

Kagan is a fucking moron.Supreme Court curbs EPA’s power to limit greenhouse gas emissions
A group of red states and coal companies contested a federal appeals court decision that said the EPA could issue regulations on greenhouse gases.www.nbcnews.com
“Just like last week’s dangerously misguided and abhorrent decisions on gun safety and abortion, the extremist MAGA Court’s ruling today in West Virginia v. EPA will cause more needless deaths — in this instance because of more pollution that will exacerbate the climate crisis and make our air and water less clean and safe," he said in a statement. "But make no mistake — the consequences of this decision will ripple across the entire federal government, from the regulation of food and drugs to our nation’s health care system, all of which will put American lives at risk."
No, dumbass, it’s going to force congress to their jobs for a fucking change.
Well done, SCOTUS, well done.
You can release refrigerants into the air.... its done daily!

Until you get fined cause it’s illegal
I'm still waiting on more analysis but that NBC link @Bender posted seems like it WILL affect the power of govt agencies to regulate.
Like they would ever even know!?! Hell, I buy full tanks of refrigerant from AutoZone to use as range targets because I like the effects when I hit them /s. The 20# tanks at 1000yds of course.
This ruling probably comes too late to save the electrical power generation industry, but maybe the automakers can launch the right legal challenges and undo some of the damage inflicted by the past 25+ years of CAFE regulation stupidity.
Depends whether that regulation was explicitly passed by Congress (in which case, no, you still won't be able to do that) or if the EPA decided to create that rule based upon its assumed authority to do so based upon the Clean Air Act or whatever.
This opens a lot of doors to be able to get rid of needless regulations that would never stand on its own as a law. I think it has bigger implications than the news media will ever admit. Hopefully we can continue this baby steps in regaining some semblance of normalcy. I hope it gets all of the non-elected government. We have been ruled by Tyranny for way too long. I would contend it all goes back to the creation of the federal reserve. Again that is a private entity doing what the government should do. It is unconstitutional to have private banks issuing a US currency and then charging us interest rate to do so.
Read that out loud until it sinks in. We have a private group of banks issuing a federal currency and then charging us interest rate to do so.

We release all kinds of R718 into the air each day!
You watch, there will be an end run around this by trying to use the Paris Climate Accord (treaty).
Agreed, they definitely won’t give up. But at least the supreme court isn’t going to give them the easy road out. I fear that they are just going to slam through and pack the courts to 13 justices and then we are screwed from there on out.
Republicans are pussies and wouldn’t even try to pack the court. They would do nothing like last time they had a majority.
Dems are fags, but at least they fight for their mental illness driven beliefs.
This is an absolute watershed moment to start dismantling a federal regulatory apparatus that is almost entirely unconstitutional.
The only thing that the Republicans are good at, is getting their shit packed/pushed in by the Democrats

And fund raising on promises of "really going to fight hard this time" bullshit.
Fuck all of them.
Several may soon be taken to the Scalia hunting ranch for there scheduled heart attacks.
I just want to chip and delete a tdi sportwagen and get 60mpg.
Don't forget about R744. I'm literally shaking at the thought of how much of this we release each day.
Do they have dirt on HRC?
