Georgia Court of Appeals reverses coal plant CO2 ruling

Posted by Thomas Wheatley on Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 5:29 PM

The Georgia Court of Appeals today reversed a landmark 2008 Fulton County Superior Court ruling regarding a proposed "clean coal" plant in southwest Georgia.

That ruling invalidated an air quality permit issued to Plant Longleaf in Early County because the state failed to place a limit on the facility's carbon emissions.

We're sifting through today's 34-page decision, which is complex as hell. We'll update in a bit. In the meantime, feel free to read through it yourself. Here's a PDF of today's decision.

I started to read it, but I couldn't tolerate seeing "Superior Court" incorrectly capitalized again and again. On the bright side, those of us who play The Georgia Gang Drinking Game will no doubt enjoy another episode of Watch Dick Williams Intentionally Stumble Over Judge Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore's Name. That shtik never gets old.

You DO realize that this plant is in the same county (Early) as the notoriously contaminated peanut plant, right? Does this inspire confidence in anyone??
