Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Of all regions of the country, the South has the most to lose from unchecked climate change, and the most to gain from an economy that relies on clean energy.
53% : "In so doing, it deprives EPA of the power needed -- and the power granted -- to curb the emission of greenhouse gases."
52% : In response to the Supreme Court's announcement, Frank Rambo, senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center and leader of the organization's Clean Energy and Air Program, issued a statement:By hobbling the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate carbon emissions, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling today has gravely hamstrung the United States' progress to taking swift and necessary action to address climate change.
47% : Duke's proposed decarbonization plan would gradually reduce the use of coal, but also ramps up natural gas, a major source of another greenhouse gas, methane.
42% : The Court's ruling in favor of coal companies in a case about an environmental safeguard that no longer exists -- indeed, one that never took effect -- dismisses legal precedent, and ignores the climate crisis that is already hurting families and communities in the South.
41% : The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday the Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to regulate greenhouse gases as pollutants, siding with a group of Republican attorneys general and coal companies in a major blow to the executive branch's power to curb climate change.
41% : The decision, issued on the last day of the court's term, capped a landmark term for its new conservative majority that issued major rulings revoking a constitutional right to abortion, limiting states' power to regulate guns and restricting federal COVID-19 regulations.
36% : In a dissent written by Justice Elena Kagan, the court's three liberals said the decision strips the executive branch agency charged with environmental regulation of its power to respond to the most urgent environmental issue the world faces.
