SCOTUS Decides EPA can Kind of Do Its Job

So, it turns out that the EPA can actually have authority to protect the environment (its raison d'être ) according to most of SCOTUS justices. Such a happy-ish day!

Regulating greenhouse gases does conditionally fall under the purview of government authority--because among others, Justice Scalia allows it.

Seems pretty solid to me.

And I like that it means we don't have to wait for Congress to absorb basic facts to see any agency actually address this urgent issue. Because when it comes to absorbing basic facts...these cats are taking a while.
