SCOTUS has crippled Biden’s EPA, but there’s only one way to stop them because of it – Are you happy with that?

The Supreme Court has essentially just ended the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ability to directly regulate greenhouse gases. But don’t expect the Biden EPA to stop that.

Today’s decision in West Virginia v. EPA put an end to the agent plan for the past 24 years to invent its own authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

This plan culminated in 2015 with the Obama EPA’s “Clean Power Plan,” through which it plans to reduce coal burning by power companies.

Combined with Obama’s other EPA activities including the infamous “coal war,” the Clean Power Plan helped bring virtually the entire U.S. coal industry into bankruptcy, killing 50,000 jobs. Coal pays well and communities that depend on the coal industry are devastated.

But the Court has now found the Clean Power Plan to be illegal.

“Congress did not grant EPA… the power to set emissions limits based on the generational transition approach that the Agency took under the Clean Power Plan,” the 6-3 majority wrote.

Expanding on this point, the majority wrote, “We cannot ignore that the newly published EPA regulatory text has facilitated its enactment of a program that long after the hazards posed by known greenhouse gas emissions, which Congress has reviewed and rejected several times. “

As someone who worked in the coal industry under Obama and witnessed first-hand the hardships caused by the Obama EPA scam, my first reaction was:

“Where do coal industry investors, employees and communities go to offset the damage caused by illegal government activity?”

While today’s Court rule is technically limited to evaporating the Clean Power Plan, it’s hard to see any EPA regulation on greenhouse gases as legal because Congress has not never allowed such regulation.

Will the Biden EPA care? No possibility.

It will now move on to other programs to regulate greenhouse gases, particularly through air quality regulations related to ozone and particulate matter (such as soot and dust).

As the Obama EPA argues and implements its coal war regulations, greenhouse gas emissions from coal plants could be reduced as a side effect if limits were placed on the amount of coal. Formation and particulate emissions are allowed to be released from coal plants.

While the EPA has explicit authority to regulate those emissions, it has distorted the science involved to the point of claiming that none of the emissions from coal plants are safe for human health. People. This is clearly and unequivocally wrong, but the Biden EPA doesn’t care.

The only hope to stop this illegal EPA program before more senseless damage is done to our country is a separate ongoing federal lawsuit. The lawsuit Young v. EPA, pending ruling in US District Court for Washington, DC, could slow the agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions through the backdoor of ozone and granular matter.

Plaintiffs in Young v. EPA alleged that the EPA illegally arranged its science review boards with agency agents to regulate science related to ozone and particulate emissions. It’s a decision that could be as important as West Virginia suing the EPA.

One thing is for sure. The EPA is essentially a gangster, intrigue and thug agency that pursues its political goals.

SCOTUS has now been adjusted in the EPA slightly. But there is still much work to be done.
