The Supreme Court last week diminished the power of unelected bureaucrats to effectively make law. A 6-3 majority ruled the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not have the power to set standards on greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. It said that’s up to Congress.

The ruling came while President Biden was in Europe promoting his green energy agenda, even while Germany announced it is firing up new coal plants to conserve gas because of supply shortages due to Russia’s cutback in gas deliveries to the Continent. This, while France gets 70% of its energy from nuclear power.
