Supreme Court to Decide the Future of Clean Air

NPR is one of many News organizations reporting today on the Supreme Court case that will decide whether or not coal power plants do in fact have to comply with the clean air act. At issue is that always difficult question of whether or not a major industry actually has to follow an inconvenient law, in this case, a law that requires modernization of environmental filtration equipment.

As usual, the “Rule of Law’ Bush administration has decided to selectively ignore the need for enforcement here, going so far as to urge the Supreme Court not to accept the case.
