Nuclear

A recent report from Inside Climate News found that the state's environmental regulators are not holding polluters as accountable as they once did. The Texas Department of Transportation will receive more than $5.5 billion from the federal government for infrastructure improvements. And the U.S. Supreme Court is revisiting a dispute over shipping nuclear waste from across the country to a site in far West Texas.

A controversial plan to ship nuclear waste from across the country to a site in rural West Texas has been blocked since last year after Texas prevailed in a federal lawsuit. The high court has now agreed to take up the case.
