"Supreme Court Environment Cases To Watch In 2025"

"The National Environmental Policy Act, water and nuclear battles are just a few of the environmental issues on the justices’ docket during the first half of the new year."

"As Donald Trump gets ready to return to the White House, the nation’s highest bench is eyeing high-profile environmental questions that — once the conservative-dominated Supreme Court answers them — may boost the president-elect’s policy agenda.

Over the next six months, the justices will have the opportunity to limit the environmental impacts federal regulators can consider when approving projects, order EPA to get more specific about water permitting requirements and inhibit the power of Congress to delegate power to executive agencies.

“The conservative Supreme Court supermajority has been cutting back on executive power,” said Holly Doremus, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, during a recent panel discussion hosted by the Environmental Law Institute."
