In response to the U.S. Supreme Court declining to stay the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) suite of rules aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants, Evergreen Action Senior Power Sector Policy Lead Charles Harper released the following statement:

“Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Today, the majority of the Court took a rare break from trashing our environmental laws to do the right thing. That’s because carbon pollution standards for power plants are wholly supported by the law. Now, it’s time for state leaders and utility executives to move full speed ahead in planning for a better future with affordable clean energy for all.

“However, this court remains a threat. This common-sense rule was as by-the-book as they come, and these cases should never be in doubt. We will continue our efforts to reform the court and stop MAGA justices’ imperial power grab. Both our climate and our democracy are on the ballot this November.”
