WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday for the major coal-producing states and sharply limited the Biden administration’s authority to restrict the carbon pollution that is causing global warming.
The justices agreed with lawyers for West Virginia, and said Congress did not give environmental regulators broad authority to reshape the system for producing electric power by switching from coal to natural gas, wind turbines and solar energy.
The court split 6-3 in the case of West Virginia vs. EPA.
