Supreme Court ruling might be weapon against Texas nuclear waste storage site

 

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is using a recent U.S. Supreme Court EPA ruling to fight the federal government’s approval of a nuclear waste storage site in West Texas.

Paxton says the court’s June 30 ruling, which limited how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, can be used to block a federal license issued to a private facility to store radioactive waste in his state reported the Associated Press.
