US Court Halts California Low-Carbon Fuel Rules Last update: 12/29/2011 3:56:26 PM By Ryan Tracy Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--A U.S. court on Thursday halted enforcement of California's low-carbon fuel rules, saying they discriminated against crude oil and ethanol imported into the state. The decision was welcomed by the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association, which had challenged the rules and argued they would lead to higher costs for consumers. Ethanol producers had also challenged the regulations. The California Air Resources Board set out the rules in 2010. The board had no immediate comment Thursday. The rules are part of a statewide effort to cut greenhouse-gas emissions, which many climatologists link to a warming climate. Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill of U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of California hasn't yet ruled on the merits of the case, but he indicated Thursday in a written decision that the challenges to the fuel rules were likely to succeed. The rules violated the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which leaves regulation of interstate commerce to the federal government, O'Neill wrote. He granted a motion to stop enforcement of the rules while the case moves forward. -By Ryan Tracy, Dow Jones Newswires; 202-862-9245; ryan.tracy@dowjones.com (END) Dow Jones Newswires December 29, 2011 15:56 ET (20:56 GMT)
