Attorney General Scott Pruitt Hails SCOTUS Decision on EPA Overreach

OKLAHOMA CITY – Attorney General Scott Pruitt hailed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Monday in Michigan v. Environmental Protection Agency, a case in which Oklahoma was a plaintiff.

“The U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion in Michigan v. EPA is a substantial victory for Oklahoma industry and consumers. Thanks to our victory, the EPA can no longer ignore the substantial costs its rulemaking can heap on industry, and eventually ratepayers. The EPA routinely ignores statutes and congressional directive in order to pick winners and losers in the energy arena. This ruling will support Oklahoma’s continued challenges of the EPA’s attempts to act outside the authority granted to it by Congress and the law.”

The state of Oklahoma was a party to the litigation, joining Michigan and 20 other states. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 the EPA unreasonably interpreted the Clean Air Act when it decided to set limits on the emissions of mercury and other pollutants from power plants without first considering the costs to utilities and others before doing so.
