One Democratic senator warned the high court's right-wing majority 'could unleash a new era of reckless deregulation that will gut protections for all Americans and the environment.'
EPA data, the power sector represents the United States' second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
"A Supreme Court that sides with the fossil fuel industry over the health and safety of its people is anti-life and beyond broken," said John Paul Mejia, national spokesperson for the youth-led Sunrise Movement."We cannot and will not let our Democratic leaders standby while an illegitimate court and the GOP goes on the offense."
Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch, said in a statement that the court's ruling is"part of a broad-based assault on the ability of regulators to protect our air, water, and climate." "Long-sought by corporate polluters, industry-backed think tanks, and politicians who serve monied fossil fuel interests, this decision strikes at the heart of federal experts' ability to do their jobs," added Hauter, who stressed that"while this ruling intends to hamstring the federal government's ability to regulate dangerous emissions, it does not signal the end of climate action.
"The climate movement must and will continue to pressure agencies and elected officials at the local, state, and federal levels to enact policies that ensure a swift reduction in climate pollution and an end to the fossil fuel era," Hauter said."The Supreme Court will not stand in the way of the fight for a livable planet."
