Supreme Court makes sensible ruling

I’ll let you read the New York Times explanation, since it’s undoubtedly better than mine, but the upshot is that the Supreme Court decided that—wait for it—the EPA is supposed to regulate our air quality under the Clean Air Act.

Sheesh.

WASHINGTON, April 2 — In one of its most important environmental decisions in years, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to regulate heat-trapping gases in automobile emissions. The court further ruled that the agency could not sidestep its authority to regulate the greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change unless it could provide a scientific basis for its refusal.
