High Court and Climate Change

The Supreme Court is set to hear a case that one environmentalist calls “the most important environmental case the Court has ever had”  ? one that will decide whether the EPA must regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

The nation’s capital has been pretty quiet on climate change. But that will change soon as the Supreme Court hears a case that could force the regulation of greenhouse gasses. Living on Earth’s Washington correspondent Jeff Young reports that the case is making for some strange bedfellows with some electric companies arguing in favor of regulation.
