Biden Environmental Moves May Clash With Supreme Court on Deference

摘要

As President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris plan their administration, it is expected to take aggressive action in a number of federal environmental policy areas,particularly on climate issues. Biden’s climate agenda includes a bold pledge to achieve a U.S. goal of 100% clean energy and net-zero emissions no later than 2050.To get there, major federal legislative and executive branch actions would likely be needed across a wide range of federal programs. The Senate may very well remain in Republicancontrol, placing an obvious limit on the reach of Biden’s legislative efforts, even with a Democratic majority in the House.
