This week, we talk with a reporter with Inside Climate News who says the Supreme Court EPA decision could result in more expensive regulations for power plants. We also take a closer look at why Pennsylvania and other states are suing the US Postal Service over a lack of electric vehicles in its plan to replace its fleet.
And, researchers are using a program trained to identify bird species from hours of birdsong recorded in the forest to help with conservation.
Plus, news about the spotted lanternfly, fracking in Allegheny County parks, and a poll that shows two-thirds of Pennsylvanians accept climate change.

Despite Supreme Court climate ruling, Pennsylvania retains power to set limits - Lawyers say the Supreme Court ruling limiting EPA's ability to regulate CO2 is not likely to have a significant impact in Pennsylvania.- A new poll shows 75% of Pennsylvanians accept evidence of climate change - It’s the highest level of acceptance since Muhlenberg College pollsters started asking the question 15 years ago.
