Supreme Court thinks Green

Yesterday, the Supreme Court came down with a landmark decision. In its first decision on climate change, the court declared that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.

While it wasn't a resounding landslide... the majority ruled at 5-4. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) now has the authority to regulate the emissions from new automobiles and its previous inaction is no longer acceptable.

While I am in no wat a judicial or political expert, this mean big changes to come. Congress will now feel it has the ability to enact legislation to reduce global warming. Car Companies will have to push their E85 or hybrid options. And again the EPA needs to step up their act.
