    On today’s with we chatted about the SEC’s new proposal to require companies to disclose business risks posed by climate change—why it matters, why it’s different from voluntary disclosures & why to expect legal challenge.

    2/2 These args boil down to inviting the Supreme Court to strike down any final rule on major questions/non-delegation grounds - echoing Gorsuch in the vaccine case: Agency can't do this & if it can, Congress acted unconstitutionally delegating legislative power. Double whammy.

    1/2 Plenty of criticism out there for the SEC's new climate disclosure proposal saying agency should "stay in its lane" as financial regulator & not meddle in climate. See e.g., See e.g., and

    A great day for a new Supreme Court Justice to be confirmed! True that she cannot tip the ideological balance of the Court now but…life is long. On environmental regulation specifically, record suggests KBJ follows facts & law, open to argument, both sides have won=a good judge.

    Much appreciated ’s excellent thread summarizing the arguments in Monday’s big Supreme Court climate case. For those wanting the upshot without having to read transcript or listen to the arg 👉

    Takeaway 1: Most Justices were unbothered by the jurisdictional issues and ready to decide the case. A recap: The DC Circuit vacated (struck down) the ACE rule, which had rescinded the CPP. For the SCt to reverse that decision, someone has to show why that result hurt them. 5/23

    The Supreme Court hears an important climate case Monday-at stake is EPA’s authority to regulate CO2 from power plants. See my op-ed on why the Court acting without any rule in place is overreach & bad for the power sector which wants stable climate rules:

    On the latest Ep of our CleanLaw Podcast I talk with Chet France (who spent his distinguished career leading the awesome transport division at EPA) about the new Biden admin car rules and the future of EVs. A deep dive for experts and newcomers alike.

    2/2 also pls note, and the Court should too, the electric power industry—which is the regulated industry here—is NOT on the side of petitioners asking Court to scuttle EPA authority—It’s the coal/mining industry. Brief of power sector respondents is great! Go !

    1/2 Reading the briefs in the case (where the Court will review EPA’s authority to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants) & am so impressed with Gov’t & NGO briefs which say waaaitaminute there’s no rule regulating anyone right now! No harm, standing!

    Justice Breyer also notably dissented in Brown & Williamson where the Court announced its "major questions" canon saying Congress must delegate very explicitly if agencies want to do big things with important economic & political consequences - he said broad authority is enough!
