Senate Rejects Biden's Highway Emissions Regulations

The Senate voted to pass a bill reversing the Biden administration's regulations mandating states to track and set reduction goals for greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles on highways, with bipartisan support and opposition. The regulations, part of President Biden's climate agenda, were criticized for overstepping congressional authority and face potential veto from the White House. This comes after federal courts ruled in favor of a coalition of states and industry groups, striking down the regulations.

"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.

"Supreme Court's Potential Impact on Government Oversight and Climate Action"

The US Supreme Court is considering overturning the Chevron deference, a 40-year legal precedent that shields environmental and climate policies from being easily rolled back, which could make it easier for fossil-fuel trade groups to challenge President Biden's climate regulations. This move could have significant implications for future climate regulations and legal challenges, potentially hindering the government's ability to enforce climate policies and leaving existing policies vulnerable to legal attacks.

Supreme Court to Review EPA's Climate Regulations and Air Pollution Plans

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear challenges against the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "good neighbor plan," a regulatory proposal aimed at reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from manufacturing facilities and power plants. The plan would impose stricter standards on 23 states whose emissions are believed to contribute to air pollution in neighboring states. The court will hear oral arguments for four emergency challenges in February 2024. Critics argue that the plan gives the EPA excessive regulatory authority, while supporters claim it would prevent premature deaths and provide economic benefits. The decision could have significant implications for the extent of the EPA's authority.

"Biden's Power Plant Crackdown Sparks Concerns of Power Shortages and Unworkable Emissions Rules"

The Edison Electric Institute (EEI), a lobbying group for electric companies, has criticized the Biden administration's proposed climate regulations for power plants. The group raised concerns about the feasibility and affordability of the emission-cutting technologies proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), particularly for existing coal and natural gas plants. The EEI also questioned the EPA's approach to regulating natural gas plants and called for more flexibility. In response, an EPA spokesperson defended the proposed rule, stating that it is based on proven and cost-effective control technologies. Climate advocates have urged electric companies to support the EPA's standards, as the electric sector is responsible for a significant portion of the US's greenhouse gas emissions.

Manchin to vote against all of Biden's EPA nominees.

Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has announced that he will vote against all of President Biden's nominees for positions at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to disagreements over energy policy. Manchin specifically cited proposed regulations for power plants that are expected soon from the EPA, which he believes will impact nearly all fossil-fueled power plants in the United States. His opposition creates a difficult pathway for Biden's EPA nominees, as they will need the support of every Democrat, including Manchin and Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
