Court blocks EPA plan to take over permits
National News
A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the Environmental Protection Agency from taking over greenhouse gas permits in Texas.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued the stay Thursday, pending further action by the court.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott had asked the federal appeals court in Washington to block the EPA from taking over greenhouse gas permits starting Sunday until the court could review the case.
The appeals court noted that order issuing the stay "should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits" of Abbott's motion.
Earlier last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit had declined to issue a stay that would delay the EPA's plans as Texas' lawsuit against the federal agency moved forward.
