Texas loses another round in fight over EPA regulation of greenhouse gases

WASHINGTON – Texas lost a third round Wednesday in its legal fight to halt federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. Texas had asked the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to block a program that awards construction permits to major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, such as cement kilns and oil refineries. Every other state has begun the permit program or allowed EPA to award permits for them.
