Greenhouse Gas Funding for High Speed Rail. 3 Bits informed:intel

The high speed rail project: California’s high speed rail project

The federal greenhouse gas funding: greenhouse gas emissions program funds held by the state

Did this go to court? Yes, The Transportation Solutions Defense and Education Fund sued the state saying the high speed rail would increase carbon emissions in its construction. The state argued the project would ultimately help CA meet its carbon reduction goals.

What did the court say? The funding stream is fine. The state did not abuse its discretion.
