TX Carbon Dioxide Lawsuit

Written by Greg Russell | Oct 7, 2009 12:43:17 PM

Yesterday, Public Citizen - a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization - sued the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to force the commission to regulate CO2 emissions when considering permits for new coal-fired power plants and other facilities.  A copy of the organization's press release can be found here, including a copy of the complaint that was filed.

If successful, expect to see similar suits around the country.
