Supreme Court rules against EPA on Mercury and Air Toxic Standards
Justices at the U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 June 29 against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) landmark Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS) outlines, ruling that the Obama Administration's push to limit mercury and pollutant emissions from coal-fired power plants failed to consider costs and compliance issues. Justice Scalia, in a note written on behalf of the court, said Monday that a Clean Air Act provision dictating that the EPA could regulate power if it found it "appropriate and necessary" should be interpreted as cost consideration, though the agency had already decided it did not have to consider such figures at that stage.
