The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review the decision to revoke federal approval for a critical $1.5 billion railroad project in eastern Utah. This rail line is intended to transport crude oil and boost fossil fuel production in the region. The project, which was initially approved by federal regulators, was challenged by environmental groups and a local community. Seven Utah counties requested the Supreme Court's intervention after the D.C. Circuit decision revoked the approval.
