Big thanks to @KQED for teeing up such an important conversation on SCOTUS and the future of our courts!.
Earthjustice's @AbbieDillen joined Rory Little and Reshma Ramachandran on @KQED's Forum to discuss the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron doctrine. Justice Elena Kagan wrote this ruling is a "massive shock to the legal system." Listen to learn more:

Truly thrilling settlement that puts Hawai’i on an enforceable path to zero emissions transportation by 2045. So grateful to our amazing clients for spurring historic climate action that vindicates young people’s right to a healthy environment.

The settlement, described as a “world first,” will legally require Hawaii’s transport department to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Beautifully stated.
The unglamorous, complicated work of reforming grid interconnection rules and engaging with state public utility commissions’ rate-setting processes was, is and will continue to be the skeleton key to unlock progress toward US deep decarbonization. @brucenilles @AbbieDillen.

At last. This is a gigantic step forward in a generational fight against the chemical industry and its cancer-causing pollution. As my colleague Patrice Simms sums it up in the NYT: “In a very real sense this is about life and death.”

The new regulation is aimed at reducing the risk of cancer for people who live close to plants emitting toxic chemicals.

The Trump Administration took its wrecking ball to the rules that make the Endangered Species Act work in practice. The Biden Administration is in the final stretch of making rules that must fully repair the damage. The ESA has never been more important.

Another important smart take from @sambhavsankar on the scary environmental implications of this Supreme Court.
I would say it's extraordinary for SCOTUS to hold an emergency hearing about a new Clean Air Act regulation before a lower court can even review its legality. But it's kind of becoming business as normal. Here's my take:
