Supreme Court limits EPA in curbing power plant emissions

“James Tierney, a former Democratic attorney general of Maine and Harvard Law School lecturer who has taught courses on state attorneys general, predicted that regulators in progressive-led states ‘will not sit back and do nothing as our planet disintegrates.’

’Rather, they will consider this decision a green light to promulgate un-preempted regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions,’ Tierney said in an email. ‘The very businesses that rejoice today at the defeat of the EPA and its national standards will soon find their futures in the hands of state officials in Sacramento and Burlington.’”
