AOC Fighting To Save EPA From Pollution-Mad Conservative Supreme Court

AOC is pushing legislation to save the EPA from the pro-pollution conservative Supreme Court.

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) is gathering support in the House for a bill aimed at overturning a recent Supreme Court decision ruling that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is limited in its authority to regulate carbon emissions — a decision that could have devastating consequences for the climate.

Earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez introduced the EPA Regulatory Authority Act of 2022, a bill that’s narrowly crafted to focus on amending the Clean Air Act, which gives the EPA the authority to regulate air pollution, in order to specifically allow the EPA to identify and reduce emissions from polluters like power plants.

Now, according to E&E News, the congresswoman is shopping around for support for the bill, hoping that it will pass the House even if there’s little chance of it passing the Senate. She says that the bill has about a dozen cosponsors so far.” [READ MORE]
