"These districts that have been redlined, on average, experience higher temperatures by a few degrees to five or six degrees than their more affluent communities. And that is dangerous for human health," she said."...These communities will continue to suffer. We are seeing a continued legacy of environmental racism with the Supreme Court decision."

The ruling is ridiculous but maybe regulators will end up with more power after this.
The Supreme Court is now acting against the greater good with no relevant moral compass other than one driven by special interests. Time they re-read the works of the enlightenment that primed the Constitution as we are re-entering the Dark Ages of religious fervour. usa

This is misinformation. The decision said the EPA cannot regulate outside the bounds of what Congress has empowered it to regulate. Once again, we learn that a govt agency has given itself authority that was not theirs to give.
Congress needs to do their job and pass laws instead of allowing these unaccountable government agencies to dictate policy.
LOVE the decision. SCOTUS is renewing my faith in America
