Legal Action

A Texas County brings challenge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision to terminate the “Solar for All” program. Plaintiff alleges that the EPA’s August 7, 2025 “Elimination Decision” unlawfully canceled a congressionally mandated and fully obligated grant program created under the Inflation Reduction Act and authorized by the Clean Air Act. The County claims the decision is arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, exceeds EPA’s statutory authority, and violates the Appropriations Clause and separation of powers by nullifying appropriations Congress already enacted. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to vacate the “Elimination Decision” and bar the EPA from terminating or withholding “Solar for All” funds.
