The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday issued a mixed ruling on a challenge to part of President Barack Obama’s initial wave of greenhouse gas regulations by exempting a small proportion of facilities from a federal air pollution program while allowing most major pollution sources, including power plants, to be included.
In what was a relatively narrow case concerning a challenge by industry groups and Republican-leaning states the court, divided in several different ways, held that a small proportion of industrial facilities are exempted from the single regulation in question. Most major facilities, including power plants and refineries, will still be covered.

will wonders never cease
I guess a few, special donors will not be covered. How is this a victory?
He’ll just ignore it..
That nine judges can inflict such hardship on everyone who will have to pay Obama’s “soaring” utility bills as punishment for using fossil fuels is a travesty.
We would be better off without such a court. It is only a mouthpiece of the president, because he has the power to appoint his Leftists and to blackmail those he hasn’t appointed into acquiescing to his wishes.
Complete waste of time and energy. We need all the 50 states to tell EPA to back off, with their job destroying “RULES & REGULATIONS”. If all 50 states tell EPA, that NO, they will no they will not comply with comply with any and all the EPA job killing regulations, this will put an immediate stop to what the EPA is doing.
That’s how the cookie crumbles these days.
Jerks at the EPA ought to go tour Russia, Peru, China if they want to see dirty filthy and contaminated
US is clean
Actually they didn’t do much of anything. The EPA wanted to control 86% of greenhouse gasses and the SCOTUS ruled to let them control 83%. So basically the Supreme Court is worthless.
& not sure this big win, more like a loss..says it limits from 86% to 83%. EPA still getting what it wants, just 3% less. What a joke.
gads
3% is better than nothing , but you also know the EPA and Obama will now go into overdrive
