    [The Supreme Court's decision to hear an appeal in the case of West Virginia vs. EPA] was unusual because the administration has yet to issue any such regulations. But the coalition of [19 coal states that signed onto the appeal] said the court should act now to prevent new regulations that could “force dramatic changes in how and where electricity is produced.”

    [West Virginia Atty. Gen. Patrick Morrisey] argued that only Congress, not the EPA, has the authority to revamp the economy to cope with climate change.
    ...
    The court’s conservatives have long been skeptical of the Environmental Protection Agency’s application of the Clean Air Act to fight climate change. In February 2016, the court issued a 5-4 order that stopped President Obama’s Clean Power Plan from taking effect.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - I don't think that librarians can be replaced by a robot -- students can often barely search a database now, and we've all had to fight an automated system to connect us to a real person for troubleshooting internet or some other service. I don't think an AI or robot would be able to effectively assist library patrons with basic search requests, much less library programming such as storytimes or STEM maker labs.


Yes - A more accurate response option for myself (and likely many others) would be "Partially." Many fields will become par...
