Under EPA’s “bubble policy,” determined in 1979, a plant complex with several facilities can decrease pollution from some facilities while increasing it from others, so long as total results are equal to or better than previous limits.  However, determination when this policy could be used was left to the discretion of the EPA in a 1984 ruling involving the oil giant, Chevron.  Last week the US Supreme Court overruled that earlier decision in a victory for conservatives and unbridled free enterprise.  UW Law School Professor Steph Tie joins the 8 O’Clock Buzz to discuss the implications of this decision on the environment.
