On Wednesday, June 18, the Supreme Court also released the following opinions:

— In Nuclear Regulatory Commission v. Texas, the court considered who has a right to challenge the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s licensing decisions. Texas and a private company were seeking legal review of one of the commission’s licensing decisions from 2021 regarding the storage of spent nuclear fuel.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued two rulings on where certain challenges to actions taken by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act must be filed. In the first decision by Justice Clarence Thomas, EPA v. Calumet, the court ruled that one set of challenges, brought by a group of small refineries in Louisiana, should have been filed in a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. And in a second decision by Thomas, Oklahoma v. EPA, the court ruled that challenges by Oklahoma and Utah (as well as companies from those states’ energy industry) should have been filed in a federal appeals court in Denver.
