Living in Another World: Dirty-Energy State Attorneys General Attack Clean Power Plan (Again)

Living in Another World: Dirty-Energy State Attorneys General Attack Clean Power Plan (Again)

The attorneys general of West Virginia and 14 other states filed another premature, defective lawsuit today in an effort to stop the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan. Nothing new here.

Their latest case comes the same week that the dwindling but hardy band of polluter-backed climate deniers launched their latest "CO2-is-good-for you" PR campaign - "that carbon dioxide is plant food and shouldn't be controlled," according to E&E News.

What planet do these old-school-energy AGs and climate contrarians think they are living on?

After going 0 for 6 in premature challenges - all thrown out of court - the AGs have jumped the gun again. They filed their latest case in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington under the "All Writs Act." This despite a June ruling by a conservative three-judge panel that the "All Writs Act" doesn't allow a challenge to the Clean Power Plan.
