Petition for Reconsideration of Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Finding for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act

Texas petitions EPA to reconsider its Endangerment Finding, relying on the CRU emails and other data calling the finding into question. Texas notes EPA regulation of greenhouse gases would impact 3,800 farms and 28,000 cattle operations that will need permits just to continue operating. It may also jeopardize 375,000 Texans who work in the energy sector, 30,000 Texas businesses that will face new regulation and increased costs, decrease funds for public schools through drops in revenue from oil and gas leases, and cost Texas families $1,200 per year in increased living costs.
