EDF intervenes to defend EPA in CAFE lawsuit led by Texas

In Washington, the Environmental Defense Fund, along with a coalition of health and environmental groups, moved to intervene in lawsuits challenging EPA’s Clean Car Standards for cars and passenger trucks in model years 2023 to 2026. The groups filed their motion to intervene in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Groups that filed lawsuits by Monday’s deadline for judicial review include oil, ethanol and biofuel interests, and a coalition of states led by Texas.

Environmental Defense Fund is joined in its motion to intervene by Conservation Law Foundation, Environmental Law & Policy Center, Natural Resources Defense Council, Public Citizen, Sierra Club, and Union of Concerned Scientists.
