The rules began to take effect in April, but the court split 5-4 along ideological lines to rule that the Environmental Protection Agency failed to take their cost into account when the agency first decided to regulate the toxic emissions from coal- and oil-fired plants.” (Sam Hananel, “SCOTUS Rejects EPA Limits,” The Associated Press, 6/29/15)
