Supreme Court Will Review Federal Claim That EPA Has Power to Regulate Stationary Source Greenhouse Gases
Six petitions accepted, one question to be answered
The Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to review the federal government's power to regulate so-called "greenhouse gases" from fixed sources in an effort to head off global warming. The Justices accepted six petitions for review, but said it would consider only a single question for all of them.
The granted issue is: "Whether EPA permissibly determined that its regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles triggered permitting requirements under the Clean Air Act for stationary sources that emit greenhouse gases." The petitions were consolidated for one hour of oral argument. The Court denied review of three other petitions challenging EPA on greenhouse gas rules.
