What is Boulder County trying to do here and why has this case made it up to the Supreme Court?

Well, Boulder County had a major wildfire a few years ago, and they would like to sue Big Oil on the allegation that Big Oil emissions caused global warming that led to their fire.

And, of course, they haven't sued in the federal court.

They have sued in state court because state courts tend to get better outcomes for local governments.

It's just, you know, homerism.

local states and local governments can sue energy companies in state court on the basis of climate.

And You know, the right answer here is that no, they can't.

But doesn't big oil, quote-unquote, if some were to lose, would they not just pass on the damages to consumers? Ultimately, is it not you or I who would end up paying these left-wing groups that are suing? Well,

What does this decision mean?

Well, that's a good question.

I think it's more of a process than really a decision.

So the Trump administration has gotten rid of the greenhouse gas emission rules for power plants that were issued by Joe Biden.

But it's not all of them, because there were some issued under Obama that for some reason were not torpedoed by West Virginia versus EPA and are still around.

So this week, they also proposed to get rid of those.

Why they didn't do it last year when they proposed to get rid of the Biden rules, I'm not quite sure.

So can you kind of connect those dots, if they can be connected for me?
