Groups sue over DOE order to keep Florida coal plant running (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Public interest groups are suing to block the Energy Department from keeping a coal-fired power plant in Florida operating. DOE’s order to continue the life of the Stanton Energy Center in Orlando is part of a broader push by the Trump administration to keep coal-fired units online past their planned retirement dates. What happened: The lawsuit filed Friday in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals by groups including the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund and Florida Rising follows DOE’s July d
Appeals court sides with EPA on climate grant pause (opens the original)
Read excerpt

New Zealand shields polluters from climate lawsuits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New Zealand is on the verge of becoming the first country to change its laws to bar private citizens and organizations from suing polluters for contributing to climate change. Parliament gave final consent to the legislation Tuesday, and it will become law following formal approval from the head of the state, which is expected within a week. New Zealand’s move comes as U.S. Republicans push to shield oil and gas companies from being held financially responsible for the burning of their products.
