| 摘要： | In its just-released ruling West Virginia vs. EPA, the Supreme Court not only throws out the Obama-era Clean Power Plan for good, it permanently changes the rules for how federal agencies can address large policy issues like climate change. President Barack Obama's Clean Power plan was never enacted. It was suspended by the Supreme Court in 2016, and replaced by President Donald Trumps administration in 2019, but revived by an appeals court. Under the Clean Power Plan, the EPA had proposed three "building blocks" for power plants to achieve lower emissions. Citing a section of the Clean Air Act, Section 111(d), the Obama administration claimed broad authority not only to regulate coal-fired plants, but to set carbon emissions targets for states and encourage them to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. It did this by claiming these moves amounted to the "best system of emissions reduction" or BSER. |
