If i'm reading this correctly...IT'S FUCKING DEAD!!!!!
Today, the Court strips the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) of the power Congress gave it to respond to
“the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.”
Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U. S. 497, 505 (2007).
But the only question before the Court is more narrow: whether the “best system of emission reduction” iden- tified by EPA in the Clean Power Plan was within the authority granted to the Agency in Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. For the reasons given, the answer is no.
They are specifically addressing the Clean Power Plan.
That's correct, but it seems that they voted 6-3 in favor of overturning it.
Bottom of page 6:
ROBERTS, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which THOMAS,
ALITO, GORSUCH, KAVANAUGH, and BARRETT, JJ., joined. GORSUCH, J.,
filed a concurring opinion, in which ALITO, J., joined. KAGAN, J., filed a
dissenting opinion, in which BREYER and SOTOMAYOR, JJ., joined.
I haven't found anything else that's more in layman's terms on the vote. My takeaway from pg 57 seems to be they indeed killed it. I hope i'm not wrong, please correct me if so.

That’s a quote from Kagan’s dissent.
The bottom of page 6 has the court’s opinion:
