| Abstract: |
The article provides an overview of major environmental laws in the United States, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Clean Air Act (CAA), as well as the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It discusses the impact of human activities on climate change, focusing on greenhouse gases and global warming. Legal challenges faced by the EPA, such as the Clean Power Plan (CPP) and the Supreme Court's decision in West Virginia v. EPA, are also explored, highlighting concerns about regulatory authority and the separation of powers between Congress and administrative agencies. The Trump administration repealed the CPP and replaced it with the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule, which faced criticism for slowing emissions reduction. The D.C. Circuit's ruling in favor of the American Lung Association raised questions about the EPA's interpretation of the CAA and its authority to address climate change, reflecting broader debates on administrative power and separation of powers principles.
