EPA Should Act Quickly to Regulate CO2
The Supreme Court has ruled that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide as a danger to public health. With a new administration in the White House, there’s a good chance that EPA may actually have a chance to exercise this legal authority. Should they?
