Confused by this line: "The Obama administration used lawsuits over carbon emissions as its pretext to create climate regulations"https://twitter.com/kevinbogardus/status/832940496494395393 …
Is that supposed to be a reference to Mass v EPA? If so, misleading, as that was a lawsuit against Bush admin that was not settled

But probably most notable from Pruitt is this on carbon emissions:pic.twitter.com/jzOiNmMN1H

But ultimately very little here addressing whether Pruitt thinks anything should be done about climate whether by EPA or Congress

green groups sued EPA over power plant carbon. Settlement agreement promised what became the CPP. http://www.rff.org/research/publications/epa-greenhouse-gas-performance-standards-what-settlement-agreement-means …
-
were the suits filed while Obama in office?
-
No. Very little movement on then until settled after cap and trade failed in Congress. Doubt they changed policy path.
-
that's what I was wondering. They could have done CPP anyway, right?
-
oh yes definitely. Lawsuit can't provide authority that the statute doesn't already.
