At the heart of the fight will be differing interpretations of the government's duties under the Clean Air Act, which the Obama administration construed expansively (and correctly in our view) to allow a variety of weapons to be deployed against carbon dioxide, and the Trump administration's much more cramped view, which would leave us stuck with an outdated energy system.
