On Thursday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court as they decided in a 6-3 decision to severely handicap the agency’s enforcement of the Clean Air Act.
In a parting shot, the EPA appears ready to cite the biggest oil field in the United States for violating ‘ozone pollution standards’. The citation could cause the plant to shut down and continue to harm US oil production, causing further increases in gas price
“The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is preparing to cite the United States’ largest oil field for violating ozone pollution standards, a move that will threaten the end of oil and gas production in the region.
