“There they go again. Today's EPA announcement follows an industry script designed to delay any real action to reduce global warming pollution for as long as possible and certainly until the next administration.

 

“This flies in the face of the Supreme Court's 2007 decision in Massachusetts v. EPA, which already rejected EPA’s identical arguments for inaction. The EPA went all the way to the brink of fulfilling its responsibility to regulate global warming pollution from fuels and vehicles, by sending an affirmative decision to the White House last fall. Predictably, the White House blocked it, following the industry script. Now Administrator Johnson says he wants to start all over again, contrary to the Supreme Court decision. NRDC, as part of a coalition of environmental organizations, intends to return to federal court next week to enforce compliance with the Supreme Court's decision.”
