The Supreme Court on Monday heard arguments for a consolidation of cases filed by a coalition of states and coal companies seeking to limit the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate power plants' greenhouse gas emissions, with the majority of justices appearing to see the agency's power as narrow.
West Virginia Solicitor General Lindsay See was the first to argue the case before the justices and represent two coal companies, arguing the EPA has limited authority to regulate greenhouse gases. "This is a major question because it allows EPA to determine what the power sector as a whole should look like and who can be in it. It transforms the statute from something that is about how a particular source can operate more efficiently," See said.
