WASHINGTON, D.C.—(ENEWSPF)—October 15, 2013. The United States Supreme Court today denied industry and state petitions that challenged the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) historic finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. The high court also left standing EPA’s common sense and achievable emission standards for vehicles. The Court granted review on the narrow question of “whether EPA permissibly determined that its regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles triggered permitting requirements under the Clean Air Act for stationary sources that emit greenhouse gases.”
