    The Spin


    Right narrative

    This decision is a win against climate change extremists in the EPA who have sought to minimize the voices of America's energy producers. While Congress may have granted EPA the right to create rules on certain toxic pollutants, it didn't give it the right to adopt regulations that could have nationwide repercussions. This was the right decision.


    Left narrative

    The Supreme Court sided with the fossil fuel industry over the fight against climate change and stripped EPA of the very power that Congress conceded to it. Choosing money over saving lives is clearly indicative of a broken system that must be fixed.
