Summary:

Summarizes Massachusetts v. EPA, in which Supreme Court upheld EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA); and highlights various approaches for EPA. Reviews Section 111 of CAA, which provides authority to set new source performance standards, and requires States to control emissions from existing sources of the same pollutants; examines options to establish a GHG cap-and-trade system; and considers implementation issues.
