Congress to Pass Climate, Justice, and Jobs Investments after U.S. Supreme Court Guts Clean Air Act in West Virginia v. EPA

Reno, Nevada – Today, the U.S. Supreme Court released a decision in West Virginia v. EPA that would take away EPA’s ability to set the strong standards we need to cut carbon pollution and tackle the climate crisis, the Nevada Wildlife Federation issued the following statement:

“With its decision in West Virginia v. EPA, the U.S. Supreme Court’s partisan majority just undid decades of established EPA authority and precedent under the Clean Air Act to limit pollution and protect public health. This decision will limit EPA’s ability to set the strong standards we need to cut carbon pollution and tackle the climate crisis,” said Russell Kuhlman, Executive Director of the Nevada Wildlife Federation. “The truth is that the stakes couldn’t be higher. Science makes clear that climate can’t wait. Now, we need Congress to finally pass climate, justice, jobs, and clean energy investments because for every second we delay, the costs of inaction for all Americans only grows.”
