The EPA was never intended to be able to regulate carbon in any form. CO2 is not a “pollutant”; it is plant food.

It is also the inevitable emission generated by every living animal on Earth. It thus cannot be a “pollutant.”

The Supreme Court dealt the EPA a fatal blow to regulating carbon in 2022. Congress explicitly removed that constraint, which it has the right to do, immediately thereafter in the “Inflation Reduction Act” where the specific capacity to regulate any “greenhouse gas”, including CO2, was stated unambiguously and intentionally.
