On February 24, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) heard oral arguments from seven groups of petitioners on the subject of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authority to regulate greenhouse gases (GHG’s) from stationary sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The debate on Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA included petitions from private groups and state governments focusing on congressional intention in the creation of the CAA and varying interpretations of the law’s language regarding “air pollutants.”
