In an unanimous 8-0 ruling the justices denied environmentalists and states the right to sue power plants saying it is the EPA's job. The Supreme Court by reversing the ruling of a lower court in the American Electric Power Co. v. Connecticut case reaffirmed its stand it had taken in 2007 in the Massachusetts v. EPA case. In 2007 the Supreme Court had given EPA the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. "It is altogether fitting that Congress designated an expert agency, here, EPA, as best suited to serve as primary regulator of greenhouse gas emissions," Justice Ruth Ginsburg wrote. "The expert agency is surely better equipped to do the job than individual district judges issuing ad hoc, case-by-case injunctions." The electric utilities in question are TVA, American Electric Power Co., Duke Energy, Southern Co. and Excel Energy. Together, the utilities emit about 650 million tons of carbon dioxide each year, or 10 percent of the nation’s total.
