Utopia Talk / Politics / Obama regulations struck down

superdude Member	Thu Jun 30 13:01:57 I don't care if Trump stormed the Capitol naked and punched Mike Pence in the face!! This Supreme Court is worth it! Supreme Court deals Biden climate agenda serious blow with EPA decision The ruling in West Virginia v. EPA was highly anticipated http://www...enda-serious-blow-epa-decision The Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to the Biden administration’s climate change agenda, ruling Thursday that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot pass sweeping regulations that could overhaul entire industries without additional congressional approval. The 6-3 decision limits how far the executive branch can go in forcing new environmental regulations on its own. "Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day,’ But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme in Section 111(d)," Chief Justice John Roberts said in the Court's opinion, referencing Section 111 of the Clean Air Act. "A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body." The case stemmed from the Obama administration’s 2015 Clean Power Plan which aimed to reduce carbon emissions at power plants by pushing a shift from coal, to natural gas, and ultimately to wind and solar energy. The plan was put on hold by the Supreme Court in 2016, and then repealed by the Trump administration and replaced by the less extreme Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule.

Usually just the old, sick, or weak die in stressful conditions, not the whole herd. Food security is national security." ~ Margie Taylor Greene (future of R 'party) the space lasers are now being used to heat up cattle i guess (& the facility fires just conspiracy nonsense pushed by Tucker & fraudosphere)

kargen Member	Thu Jun 30 16:27:44 This is the ruling I was watching. I'm hoping it gets applied broadly to other agencies.
Hrothgar Member	Fri Jul 01 01:03:33 At least when the environment really starts collapsing and suburbs of Ameria become a battleground for canned goods to eat and a ill-timed power outages in hot/heatwave regions kill millions, I can look back on this and say, "I told you so dumb ass Trumpians" before I die.
