"Texas Judge Strikes Down Biden's Unauthorized Highway Climate Rule"

A Texas judge, appointed by Trump, ruled against the Biden administration's highway climate rule, stating that it was unauthorized. The rule, issued by the Department of Transportation, required states to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles on the U.S. highway system. Texas sued the DOT, arguing that the rule exceeded its statutory authority and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. This decision comes amid other climate-related lawsuits between Texas and the Biden administration.
