Does the Environmental Protection Agency have the power to limit greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants?
Most voters think so, but the Supreme Court just delivered a devastating blow to the EPA on Friday in a 6-3 vote. The ruling on West Virginia v.

Without strict regulation, power plants remain the second-largest U.S. source of carbon emissions contributing to climate change.
