For decades, EPA has relied on those pollution-control techniques in rules covering new internal-combustion engines under Section 111(b), sources of nitrogen oxide under the NAAQS program, and motor vehicles under Section 202(a). 530 U.S. 255, In 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the Clean Power Plan rule, which addressed carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal- and natural-gas-fired power plants. As Justice Scalia once wrote for the Court: We do not lightly assume that Congress has omitted from its adopted text requirements that it nonetheless intends to apply, and our reluctance is even greater when Congress has shown elsewhere in the same statute that it knows how to make such a requirement manifest. Jama v. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, (Distributed), Brief amicus curiae of Julian Davis Mortenson filed. I respectfully dissent from the Courts contrary holding.

The We held the ordinance did not effect a taking under Loretto, even when it was considered in conjunction with other state laws regarding eviction that effectively permitted tenants to remain at will, because it only regulated the terms of market participation. Reg. The Trump administration repealed the Clean Power Plan for one central reason: because (in its view) Section 111 confines EPA to facility-specific, technological measures. The distinction matters because the Government, not petitioners, bears the burden to establish that a once-live case has become moot. All the Government can offer, however, is the Agencys authority to establish emissions caps at a level reflecting the application of the best system of emission reduction . For these reasons, while joining Parts I and II of the Courts opinion, I respectfully dissent from Part III. .

Ibid. Following the statutory process set out above, the Agency determined the BSER for the two categories of sources. But that is wrong. When that method would frustrate broader goals, special canons like the major questions doctrine magically appear as get-out-of-text-free cards.

A standard of performance is one that. For example, someone who transmits a threat who does not know Englishor who knows English, but perhaps does not know a threatening idiomlacks the general intent required under 875(c).

Although the majority offers a flurry of complaints, they come down in the end to this: The Clean Power Plan is a big new thing, issued under a minor statutory provision. Said the Court then: That subsequent Congresses have eschewed enacting binding emissions limitations to combat global warming tells us nothing about what Congress meant when it enacted the Clean Air Act. 708 (1969) On EPAs view of its own authority, the majority worries, some future rule might forc[e] coal plants to shift away virtually all of their generationi.e., to cease making power altogether.

Specifically, the Agency concluded that generation shifting should not have been considered as part of the BSER. His boss fired him. In that rule, EPA determined that the BSER would be akin to building block one of the Clean Power Plan: a combination of equipment upgrades and operating practices that would improve facilities heat rates. The first rule announced by EPA established federal carbon emissions limits for new power plants of two varieties: fossil-fuel-fired electric steam generating units (mostly coal fired) and natural-gas-fired stationary combustion turbines. 388 (1992) . 52, at 327 (J.
