The recent West Virginia v. EPA Supreme Court ruling has left the environmental community fearing the worst: a conservative Court hamstringing the EPA’s ability to tackle climate change. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the ruling with Professor Eric Freyfogle, legal scholar, author, and former Prairie Rivers Network board member. The conversation includes some spirited back-and-forth about the Court’s rationale for its decision, the legitimacy of the Court’s reasoning, and the broader implications for the environmental movement.
