This is the MASSIVE part of today's opinion remanding EPA's ACE rule. The majority takes apart, in painstaking detail, the Trump EPA's assertion that the Clean Air Act limits it to only considering techs that can be applied TO a power plant when setting emissions stds. 1/ https://twitter.com/JodyFreemanHLS/status/1351559458518827008
EPA's goal here was to enshrine this narrow interpretation of the CAA into law, preventing future EPA's from considering measures like shifting generation away from polluting plants to cleaner sources when setting standards (like the last EPA did in the Clean Power Plan). 2/
Ensuring this hamstrung view of how the power system works, how we decarbonize the grid, and how the CAA works, was a critical goal of everyone that challenged this rule in the courts, including @AEEnet. Huge win for the planet, advanced energy, and common sense today. 3/3
