To date, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not issued any broad-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emission control regulations, either for mobile sources, such as automobiles, or for stationary sources, such as power plants.
In Massachusetts v. EPA, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), the Supreme Court decided that the EPA has authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The Court required the EPA to either regulate GHG emissions or provide a reasoned explanation as to why it cannot. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, President Bush issued Executive Order No. 13432 requesting the EPA, the Department of Transportation and other agencies to protect the environment from GHG emissions from automobiles.
