West Virginia v EPA: Read It For Yourself

Andrew Donaldson

Born and raised in West Virginia, Andrew has since lived and traveled around the world several times over. Though frequently writing about politics out of a sense of duty and love of country, most of the time he would prefer discussions on history, culture, occasionally nerding on aviation, and his amateur foodie tendencies. He can usually be found misspelling/misusing words on Twitter @four4thefire and his food writing website Yonder and Home. Andrew is the host of Heard Tell podcast.

    I haven’t read through all the details yet, but it appears to be pretty close to what I predicted last week: Roberts wrote it and even though Chevron isn’t mentioned, it clearly narrows Chevron. Much the same way that Casey and subsequent cases kept narrowing Roe. And Gorsuch wrote the dissent, asserting they should have gone farther.

    Now that we have reached the point that the EPA is not allowed to force electricity generation away from fossil fuels, and Congress appears completely unable (or unwilling) to, I will be interested to see how this plays out in different parts of the country. My state has a legal requirement to reach 100% renewable/storage by 2035. My local power authority is attempting to reach that by 2030, and is spending money and making regional deals to get there. I know I’ve probably said this before, but if you asked me to make a list of what steps I thought the authority would need to take to get to 100%, they’re checking off all of my boxes.Report

    The Republicans and their stolen Supreme Court are no longer ruining the country, they’re ruining the entire planet.

    You can help by sending the DNC $20. Can we count on you?Report
