The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the fossil fuel industry, saying the Environmental Protection Agency doesn't have broad authority to regulate national energy policy.
HOUSTON, Texas -- In a 6-3 vote, Conservative justices limited how the United States Environmental Protection Agency can regulate carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants Thursday. This is a major blow to those fighting against climate change.
When EPA Administrator Michael Regan toured Fifth Ward and Kashmere Gardens in the fall of 2021, Sandra Edwards and many others felt hopeful for the first time in their lives. Steps have been taken in Fifth Ward since then, but many feel the Supreme Court's ruling set everyone back. The opinion basically said the EPA has to get guidance from Congress before regulating the greenhouse gasses coal-fired powered plants give off. It can no longer regulate those plants in the way it feels is best.
According to Air Alliance Houston, coal-fired power plants are responsible for over one-quarter of all carbon emissions in the Lone Star State, which is described as a greenhouse gas that fuels climate change and can lead to extreme weather events including our current heat wave. While the ruling may have more of a long-term impact, Edwards is understandably right now.
