US President Joe Biden’s climate change ambitions have been set back after the Supreme Court said the use of the EPA to “restrict emissions from the power sector is overstepping the authority,” says The Australian’s Environment Editor Graham Lloyd.
“Obama and then Biden had both talked a very big game on climate action, but neither had the support of Congress to actually get meaningful reforms through,” he told Sky News Australia.
“These sort of things with such sweeping impacts need to be decided by Congress and Biden is just unable to deliver that. “In the bigger world of climate politics, really this is history repeating itself and Biden’s agenda is pretty much a lame duck.”
