Did I miss something? Isn't this a good thing?

The 6 states cannot sue the power company demanding millions? Maybe I am missing something but after reading the article I understand it that these 6 states want money for greenhouse gases that these power companies have released but the power companies are saying no because there are actually no guidelines yet in how much gases they can release?

Gen. Neal Kumar Katyal, acting solicitor general at the Department of Justice, representing the Tennessee Valley Authority, argued Tuesday that the case should be dismissed because it is nearly impossible to directly link greenhouse-gas emissions back to the five power companies in question.

You have to look beyond whoever ‘wins’ or ‘loses’ in this particular case, and focus on the ‘precedent’ being set by the SCOTUS in deferring to the ‘experts’ of the EPA, saying that the courts do not have the necessary expertise in whatever the ‘science’ in question is being debated..................
