The case involved the lynchpin of the CleanAirAct, EPA’s power to set national air quality standards. The Court then held that greenhouse gases are covered by the CleanAirAct as a type of airpollutant. Among other things, the CleanAirAct gives federal protection to wetlands.
Multiple lines of analysis make clear that regardless of how cheap wind and solar power get, without directly addressing pollution from coal and gas plants, the country’s clean energy transition will not happen fast enough. EPA ruling, EPA can still establish rigorous carbonemissions standards.
Take for instance: the burning Cuyahoga River that led to the Clean Water Act; the disastrous airpollution incident in Donora, PA that led to the passage of the CleanAirAct; the discovery of Love Canal that lead to the passage of Superfund; and most tragically, the chemical gas release in Bhopal, India that lead to the passage of EPCRA.
