Abstract
EPA's new proposal to regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants is the most significant step this country has ever taken to address climate change—but is it consistent with the Clean Air Act? An analysis of the three biggest legal questions facing the rule suggests that the agency's legal justifications for the plan are tenuous, and the courts are likely to overturn at least part of the proposal.
