to "effectuate" specific policy goals. Yakus, 321 U.S. at
420-21.
The D.C. Circuit's version of Section 111(d) contains
none of these guardrails. It allows EPA to unilaterally
reshape the American economy based on its important—
but singular-mission to protect the environment. That

the principle that legislative powers are nondelegable."
Reynolds v. United States, 565 U.S. 432, 450 (2012)
(Scalia, J., dissenting). The Court should moor the agency
back to a rightly construed Section 111.
CONCLUSION
The Court should reverse the decision below.
Respectfully submitted.
