Featuring Professors John Greabe and Rebecca Purdom

On the last day of the session, the Supreme Court limited the tools the Environmental Protection Agency can use to regulate carbon emissions from power plants, effectively limiting the agency’s ability to address climate change. In a 6-3 decision, the Court held that the language of the Clean Air Act does not provide the agency sweeping authority to regulate the energy industry, and instead suggested that such power must be left to Congress. 

Join Rudman Center Director and Constitutional Law Scholar Professor John Greabe and Associate Dean and Professor Rebecca Purdom as they explain the decision, and the impact of the court’s rulings not only on climate and environmental regulation, but on the ability of many agencies to regulate health and safety concerns.
