On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 40-year precedent established in the landmark 1984 case, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council.  The precedent, commonly referred to as the “Chevron Doctrine,” gave federal agencies considerable discretion to interpret laws passed by Congress when implementing regulations and policy. But with the court's new ruling, federal agencies no longer have the final say on how laws are interpreted. Instead, the judiciary will hold that power.  So, how will the new ruling impact energy policy and environmental regulation? What are both proponents and opponents saying about the court's decision? And what does this mean more broadly for the modern administrative state?  This week host Bill Loveless talks with Michael Gerrard and Jeff Holmstead about the implications of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Chevron Doctrine. Michael is the founder and faculty director of Columbia's Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. From 2012 to 2018, he was the chair of the faculty of Columbia University's Earth Institute. Before joining Columbia in 2009, Michael practiced environmental law in New York for three decades. Jeff is a partner and co-chair of the Environmental Strategies Group at Bracewell LLP. From 2001 to 2005, he served as the assistant administrator for air and radiation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In our fourth installment of the seabed mining series, we loop back with Scott Segal, co-chair of the Policy Resolution Group at Bracewell LLP, for the second half of his perspective on seabed mining as a future source of critical minerals. As an industry professional, in Scott's eyes the issue is a no-brainer; the global benefits of seabed mining are impressive, and, as he puts it, “No form of getting minerals is without any form of tradeoff.” Yet, co-hosts Elisa and Yvette ask him hard-hitting questions: What is The Mining Company's end goal? Won't this impact our subsea cable infrastructure? And is the value of the deep sea ecosystem, particularly for use in pharmaceuticals, being considered? Scott Segal is the co-chair of the Policy Resolution Group at Bracewell LLP: https://bracewell.com/people/scott-h-segal

Batteries require minerals, a fact many of us forget. In our second installment of the Seabed Mining as a National Security Threat series, co-hosts Elisa and Yvette sit down with Scott Segal, co-chair of the Policy Resolution Group at Bracewell LLP. Scott's experience representing major companies in the renewable energy field includes The Metals Company, a Canadian mining startup and a major player in the race to mine the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ). Scott joins us to provide an industry perspective on seabed mineral mining, starting from the ground up. What are Polymetallic Nodules and how are they mined? Where does the U.S. currently source minerals needed to make batteries? And apart from the mining of these minerals, does the U.S have the ability to produce batteries or does that infrastructure lie in the hands of foreign adversaries? Scott Segal is the co-chair of the Policy Resolution Group at Bracewell LLP: https://bracewell.com/people/scott-h-segal

The House Ways and Means Committee approved its portion of a multi-trillion dollar economic and social spending plan this week. But despite this latest victory, Democrats still have a lot of work to do before their aspirations become law. The House tax plan doesn't include some of President Joe Biden's notable proposals, including an overhaul of the way unrealized capital gains are treated at death. The tax plan advanced by Ways and Means also aims for more modest hikes to the corporate and capital gains rates than Biden has been seeking. On this week's episode of our weekly Talking Tax podcast, senior reporter Colin Wilhelm discusses the state of play with two Bracewell LLP lobbyists who have a depth of knowledge on the issues: Yasmin Nelson, former senior policy advisor to then-Sen. Kamala Harris,, and colleague Liam Donovan, a former Republican campaign operative who now works on tax and energy issues as well as providing multi-platform political commentary. Nelson and Donovan break down the opposition to the capital gains overhaul, how a troubled prescription drug pricing proposal impacts the overall revenue picture, and what is happening over on the Senate side of the Capitol.

On June 18, 2019, the Federalist Society's Article I Initiative and Regulatory Transparency Project hosted a panel on "Agency Rulemaking: Unnecessary Delegation or Indispensable Assistance?" at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.In his recent article, “Strategic Institutional Positioning: How We Have Come to Generate Environmental Law Without Congress,” published in the Texas A&M Law Review, Donald Kochan lays out the argument that delegation of authority to agencies serves the interests of both sides of Congress. Those ostensibly elected to oppose further regulation can argue that any proposed rule changes are out of their control. Conversely, representatives elected to increase regulation can blame agency heads for not following the intent of the authorizing statute. However, both sides avoid blame by the electorate.What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a system? Should specialized bureaucrats do the lion’s share of rulemaking? Or should elected Senators and Congressman, often without the same level of expertise, write the rules that govern our nation?Featuring:Andrew Grossman, Partner, Baker & Hostetler LLP and Adjunct Scholar, The Cato InstituteProf. Donald Kochan, Professor in Law and the Associate Dean for Research & Faculty Development, Chapman University Dale E.
