So...
What needs to happen is congress has to go to work and hammer out a deal for the coal fired electrical generating plants to get scrubbers for their smokestacks.

We want the mercury and soot removed...it's not difficult but it is kinda expensive.
Mercury gets in the waterways to where a guy can't eat the fish he catches. The mercury coming from the coal itself.

So if congress will help fund some of the scrubbers....then we will have plenty of power.
 
Congress never authorized the EPA to regulate CO2 emissions. So why was the ruling wrong?

The dissenting opinion is about 30 pages. General and more specific reasons are identified. It's quite detailed. One general reason given is that Congress intentionally gives regulatory agencis broad mandates so that at they can change their policies to meet changing circumstances.

It's a very detailed dissent. Quite a contrast from Roberts's verbose waste of paper, which essentially boils down to, "That doesn't mean they can do anything they want."

Broad mandates? So what broad mandate did Congress give the EPA that could be construed as authorizing the EPA to regulate CO2 emissions?
 
road mandates?
Correct.

Meaning, congress does not dictate every policy and limit their policies only to those policies. "Broad mandate"

Compare that to a mandate that is not broad, like Mueller's two sentence mandate.

It's pretty much every regulatory board in the government.
. The worry now is that Roberts's hamhanded, poorly delineated decision could be used to strike down just about any regulation.

A valid concern.

How many pages does it take to say Congress never authorized the EPA to regulate CO2 emissions?
 
Correct.

Meaning, they do not dictate every policy and list their policies to only those policies.

So which broad mandate that Congress gave to the EPA grants the EPA the authority to regulate CO2 emissions? What's the wording of this "broad mandate?"

It could have taken one. Even less, as that wasn't really the courts decision. The decision was essentially that regulatory boards have no right to form policies not legislated to the letter by congress. Once again, decades of reaffirmed precedence are tossed by a corrupt court.

Unauthorized overreach is a liberal darling. We experienced a lot of it during the overreactive Covid hoax.
