Sen. Winter Statement on SCOTUS Decision Limiting EPA's Ability to Combat Climate Change

Senator: “I am bitterly disappointed by today’s shameful Supreme Court decision that guts the EPA’s ability to regulate emissions and sets back our efforts to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.”

WESTMINSTER, CO - Colorado State Senator Faith Winter today released a statement following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision limiting the EPA’s ability to regulate power plant emissions:

“I am bitterly disappointed by today’s shameful Supreme Court decision that guts the EPA’s ability to regulate emissions and sets back our efforts to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. We must be taking proactive steps to reduce emissions, but today’s decision will instead make this crisis worse, and it’s the most vulnerable among us who will be hit hardest. But here in Colorado, we are still leading the way, and this ruling will not deter our efforts to lower our emissions and tackle climate change head-on, before it’s too late. Whether it’s on climate change or abortion access, Colorado will stand strong and we will continue fighting to ensure a cleaner, safer, and healthier future for us all.”
