Decision on power plants could pave the way to further declaw Federal clean air agency.
“The EPA issued a notice of violation to Geouge in 2015,” the DOJ said. “However, Geouge continued to sell and service illegal devices. Geouge also evaded paying a penalty owed to the EPA, and taxes owed to the IRS, by having another individual receive the income he earned from the sale of the illegal devices.”
How are these two court cases related? If SCOTUS says the EPA can’t regulate air quality in power plants, then isn’t it just a matter of time until automotive emissions laws are gutted, too? Automotive designer John Grafman might have spoken for a number of people when he said, “Given the latest ruling by the SCOTUS, and the weakening of the EPA, I wouldn't be surprised if this gets appealed and maybe overturned. After all, according to a few justices, who is the EPA to regulate things like air quality? SMH!”Except that the court is now in recess until it meets again on the first Monday in October. Get ready for what could be more gutting of pollution laws then.
