Federal Court Strikes Down EPA Rule Key To Obama’s Climate Agenda

Via Washington Examiner:

A federal court struck down a key piece of the Obama administration’s climate agenda on Tuesday by saying the Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to ban the use of certain chemicals used in air conditioners blamed for exacerbating global warming.

The EPA enacted the rule in question in 2015, responding to research showing hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, contribute to climate change.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ 2-1 decision said EPA does not have the authority to enact a 2015 rule-making ending the use of hydrofluorocarbons commonly found in spray cans, automobile air conditioners and refrigerators. The three-judge panel said that because HFCs are not ozone-depleting substances, the EPA could not use a section of the Clean Air Act targeting those chemicals to ban HFCs.

One small step for the federal court. One giant step for Common Sense. FU Barry. A good common sense ruling about the solution to a problem that didn't exist. I hope President Trump goes through all the 'rules' the EPA made during Obowel's rule. I'm certain most if not all are illegal. His entire administration was built on distrust and deceit. Trying to appease the globalist agenda. Just keep dismantling the shameful, corrupt illegal legacy, brick by brick. This is so fun to watch. How did that moron think his going around the law makers in the country was going to last? This ain't some Kenyan corrupt dictatorship. Time to get rid of the EPA entirely. Stop the legislating by bureaucrats. Want a law, pass a law. Then voters can see who to blame for laws they feel are intrusive or wrong.
