Planet Earth won a major victory in the Supreme Court today. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had maintained that regulation of greenhouse gases was beyond its authority. Today in a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court disagreed. For background on the case, see our article “Supreme Court Hears Global Warming Case<\/a>” or the full text of the decision [PDF]<\/a>. Environmental Defense was one of the petitioners in this case.<\/p>\n

And that wasn’t the only Supreme Court victory today. The United States and Environmental Defense filed suit against Duke Energy for violating Clear Air Act rules when it renovated its plants, and today the Supreme Court agreed. For background on the case, see our article “Pivotal Clean Air Case Before Supreme Court<\/a>” or the full text of the decision [PDF]<\/a>.
\n
\nIn both these cases, Environmental Defense was represented by our senior attorney Vickie Patton<\/a>. I have to say, I’m in awe of what Vickie and our staff have helped to make happen. Pay attention folks – we are seeing history in the making!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
