Sierra Club announced it is suing the EPA for failing to enforce higher air quality standards for Texas.

Fayette Power Project near La Grange, which produces 72% of Austin Energy’s carbon emissions but only generates 13% of AE’s total powerannounced it is suing the Environmental Protection Agency for failing to enforce higher air quality standards for Texas and seven other states.

Fayette got a jump on other plants installing scrubbers 10 years ago, in anticipation that the EPA would eventually require them. But sulfur dioxide is only one ingredient in regional haze; another major contributor is nitrogen oxide emissions, and Fayette has an outdated system to curb those emissions. Since a decade has passed, TCEQ has now submitted a new plan to the EPA which hasn’t been reviewed yet.
