The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia last month denied a request from Texas and other states to block the plan, though set a date of June 2 to hear oral arguments. While that challenge plays out in court, states have until early September (9/6/16) to submit a plan to meet the new standards. If Texas does nothing, the EPA can impose its own plan on the state.
So, will Texas actually prepare a plan, or apply for an extension, or simply take its chances with the courts? We talk it over with News 88.7 energy and environment reporter Dave Fehling.
