It has been over twenty years since smog-forming and particulate pollution standards for heavy-duty trucks were strengthened. In the absence of federal action, states have moved forward to reduce pollution from trucks. Unfortunately, just last week truck manufacturers filed a lawsuit to prevent states from enforcing these more protective standards. And as EPA moves forward with its own proposal to finally strengthen truck pollution regulations, industry has been waging an all-out war on those, t

Bees are fish! And not just tuna. That was the question before the Third District of the California Court of Appeal. The California Fish and Game Commission had accepted petitions to list four species of native California bees for protection under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). A group of agricultural trade associations challenged the decision as exceeding the Commission’s authority under CESA, on the grounds that terrestrial invertebrates are not covered by CESA.

Co-author Jamie Mills*. Is it worth spending extra dollars, days, and windshield time to discover what mischief your oil and gas operator might be making on your property? The landowner-plaintiffs in Mustafa v. Americo Energy would certainly say so. The “discovery rule” offered them no help in their suit against their lessee for negligence when visible soil contamination occurred over two years before suit and was filed and the landowners had not visited the property in over six years.

Barely 18 months later the COVID-19 pandemic had struck, and those proposing the year – most with day jobs in academia and industry – must have been tempted to put the project on the backburner.

By Anders Lorenzen. After much speculation and pressure from campaigners and opposition parties, the UK government has finally confirmed that they will impose a windfall tax on the oil and gas industry. But they don’t want to call it a windfall tax, probably because they want it to sound different from the Labour Party’s proposal. The fancy wording chosen by the UK government was instead a ‘temporary, targeted energy profits levy’.
