The Houston Chronicle is reporting that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has rejected Texas' bid to prevent U.S. EPA from regulating greenhouse gases in the state. "The state had asked the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to delay the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to seize control of permits for greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other large industrial sources in Texas. But the three-judge panel concluded that Texas officials have not met 'the stringent standards required for a stay' while the court reviews the EPA’s takeover of the state’s permitting authority."
Texas has refused to implement EPA's regulations.
