“The Supreme Court made clear ruling on the merits of CPP (Clean Power Plan) that the Obama administration’s interpretation of the authority, which, mind you, is very much consistent with the Biden administration’s interpretation, because it’s all the same people who are working there today that we’re working at the agency then made very clear that their view of authority went well beyond what Congress had authorized. And so they issued their decision today rebuking EPA and limiting their actions to so that they are only consistent with with what Congress has explicitly stated.” — Mandy Gunasekara, former EPA Chief-of-Staff
