Supreme Court rules against EPA on emissions

The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4 that the Bush administration must consider regulating carbon dioxide emissions, Greenwire reported today. The ruling is a victory for the 11 states that sued the Environmental Protection Agency to force it to regulate greenhouse emissions from new cars and trucks. The case, Massachusetts v. EPA marks the first time the high court has considered the legal questions surrounding the regulation of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, Greenwire states.
