I think we should use activist judges to fire the power plants, except I’m not sure how well manure burns.

What you will eventually have....are certain states that get their plants built and certain states that don’t....and the haves will pass a ‘fee’ along to the have-nots....to ‘punish’ them in some fashion. I can see this occuring within ten years....with Alabama being one of the big states to accept nuclear and coal power. They will be fairly wealthly within twenty years off this fee business.
Look for the price of oil to go up again tomorrow.
How in God’s name did we ever arrive at a point to where what mammals EXHALE is a pollutant? It’s truly mind boggling...
I also think it’s outrageous that a judge can stop a power plant from being built on such grounds in the first place. Examples such as this are all a part of this self inflicted “energy crises” we are presently in. It would be fitting if this judge had to live without electricity in his home for a few days.
They should just get rid of those pesky laws and legislators and proclaim the judges philosopher kings.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Only when large numbers of people start freezing to death in the winter and dying of heat stroke in the summer will the general public begin demanding these worthless politicians and black robed activists start doing their damn job and protect the interests of We the People.
Congress will eventually give way to drilling for the votes, The judges will then realize that they are the main line in the defense of the AntiAmerica position and will work mightily to see that progress is halted at every opportunity and they don’t have to worry about voters, mostly.
Disconnect the power to the court house.
See how the judge likes that...
Hold muh breath.

Okay, judgie, if you don’t want coal, how about a nice nuclear plant?
We need to get over our addiction to Electricity, it’s just that simple.
WALKING AND FREEZING ‘08!
This is the original intent of the carbon footprint crap. Block progress.
“a state judge relied on a decision by the Supreme Court last year that carbon dioxide could be regulated as a pollutant.”
I wonder if we have Justice Kennedy to thank for this.
I wish the State of Georgia would just tell the judge she has no standing and give the order to build the plant regardless.
“Georgia Judge Cites Carbon Dioxide in Denying Coal Plant Permit”
I pray the power fails in that judge’s house.
He is either ignorant or bribed or pushing the Communist agenda.
So give this jerk a PEBBLE BED NUKE!!! No CO2!
Plants will die without CO2. So saying that it's "not directly harmful" is idiotic.
Heck no. Just cut out the area where the judge lives. Let him freeze in the dark. (Or in this weather, roast...)
This is the way it is going to be... take it from a guy who grew up around the “old growth” timber in Oregon, whose most famous denizens -— the spotted owl, giggled as they nested in the second growth timber. This was the blueprint 30 years ago. It has nothing (or at least, very little) to do with the environment, and much to do with flexing power by the Pharisees in our legalistic society.
Our only chance is to usurp their authority. The chances of that happening our dismal - though it has happened before. And I’m not referring to 1776, as those guys actually chose to “usurp” for a whole lot less than we squirm about today.
Bread and circuses.
In this case, Georgia shot itself in the foot. This is an elected judge.
We've got to stop the notion that judges are too delicate to campaign. Their records and positions have to be out in the public for the public to make an informed choice.
Also, we've got to stop the idea of lifetime appointment of judges. Twelve years is plenty of insulation to allow freedom of thought with judges. Besides, they don't think freely. They decide justice along party lines. Any idiot can see it.
“and not directly harmful to animals or plants”
Oh my. We better scrub all of that nasty CO2 out of the air immediately before it harms the plants.
STUPID JUDGE. IT IS PLANT FOOD !!!
She is something of a laughing stock locally.
She has decided not to run for re-election this year. Rumor is, she's going to Hollywood to star in one of those courtroom shows.
We are all glad to see her go. As you can see from this decision, she was totally unpredictable in her rulings and any adherence to the law was coincidental.
This will probably be reversed on appeal.
Is she a county judge? It says she was appointed by Maynard Jackson.
