Judges' questions put heat on EPA, rule challengers

On the one hand, the three judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit appeared to have strong concerns about whether industry challengers had standing to challenge one of the rules. But they also indicated that it might be possible for a separate challenge to existing regulations that regulate major polluters to proceed.
