3. This is disinformation
That is not at all what the Court held.
Their holding was bad enough, but this summation is wrong and thus not helpful. |

5. The case should never been brought up.
The regulation was not in effect so there was no damage to the company.
This is a pre-emptive strike on the government's ability to regulate. |

6. Not under current law, in any case.
However, as I understand it, Congress can give EPA that power. SCOTUS ruled that it hasn't yet done so.
