"Supreme Court's Potential Impact on Federal Agency Power and Climate Action"

The US Supreme Court's potential overturning of the Chevron deference, a legal principle giving deference to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous laws, could significantly hinder the Biden administration's climate regulations and embolden legal challenges from fossil-fuel trade groups. Without Chevron deference, agencies would be more cautious in their interpretations of environmental laws, making it difficult for the administration to pursue its climate change agenda. This could lead to increased legal uncertainty and hinder progress in addressing climate change.
