Court upholds most of EPA greenhouse gas regulation

The Supreme Court today upheld most of the Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas regulation, but the court struck down a portion that would have affected smaller businesses and institutions, The New York Times reported today.

“If this rule had been allowed to stand, small-business owners such as ranchers, farmers, manufacturers, restaurant owners and others would have seen more paperwork, more oversight and fines,” the National Federation of Independent Business told the Times.
