The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday reviewed the federal government's ability to regulate greenhouse gases from stationary sources. Jonas MonastDirector, Climate and Energy Program, Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, Duke University (919) 681-7188; jonas.monast@duke.edu http://nicholasinstitute.duke.edu/about/people/jonas-monastVideo: Monast discusses regulating emissions using the Clean Air Act http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR32WMmIR1s&feature=youtu.beQuote:"This case focuses on a greenhouse gas-permitting program that was put in place in 2011. The outcome should not affect the EPA's current efforts to limit carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, as those standards will be based on a separate section of the Clean Air Act. "The core components of the president's Climate Action Plan should therefore remain intact, regardless of how the Supreme Court resolves this case." _ _ _ _Duke experts on a variety of other topics can be found at http://newsoffice.duke.edu/resources-media/faculty-experts.
