Abstract

This paper surveys the legal vulnerabilities and administrative obstacles to the rapid adoption of regulatory measures capable of achieving meaningful GHG reductions. This analysis does not purport to identify which climate policies would be the most effective in the abstract, or in the absence of administrative and legal constraints. Nor does this paper make any claims about what sorts of measures can pass Congress now or in the future. Rather, this analysis seeks to inform the choice of climate strategies by highlighting the risks faced by climate measures once they are enacted by Congress or promulgated by federal regulatory agencies.

This abstract has been taken from the paper's opening paragraphs.
