EPA decides, for instance, how much of a switch from coal to natural gas is practically feasible by 2020, 2025, and 2030 before the grid collapses, and how high energy prices can go as a result before they become unreasonably “exorbitant.”. There is little reason to think Congress assigned such decisions to the Agency.
million greenhouse gas emission credits that the companies previously claimed, which are estimated to be worth more than $200 million. million greenhouse gas (GHG) emission credits. Automakers earn greenhouse gas emissions credits for building vehicles with lower emissions than required by law. Hyundai will pay a $56.8-million
