Texas among many to file lawsuits against EPA

Today was the last day to file a lawsuit against the EPA on their endangerment finding regarding greenhouse gases.

Lawsuits are still flowing in. Many of the suits are not from states but from industry or coalitions. At first blush it appears there are lawsuits filed by the state of Texas, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Pacific Legal Foundation, Peabody Energy Company, Coalition for Responsible Regulation, Inc., Industrial Minerals Association – North America, Great Northern Project Development, L.P., National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Rosebud Mining Company, Massey Energy Company, and Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.

Virginia also filed a lawsuit today, but not on the same grounds as the Texas suit. Louisiana filed suit a couple of weeks ago.
