The worlds largest private sector coal business, the Peabody Energy Company (PEC) has filed a mammoth 240-page Petition for Reconsideration, a full-blown legal challenge against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The petition must be answered and covers the entire body of leaked emails from Climategate as well as those other gate revelations including the frauds allegedly perpetrated under such sub-headings as Himalayan Glaciers, African Agricultural Production, Amazon Rain Forests, Melting Mountain Ice, Netherlands Below Sea Level as well as those much-publicized abuses of the peer-review literature and so called gray literature. These powerful litigants also draw attention to the proven criminal conduct by climate scientists in refusing to honor Freedom of Information law (FOIA) requests.
Peabody is, in effect, challenging the right of the current U.S. federal government to introduce cap and trade regulations by the back door. In this article we summarize Peabodys legal writ.
PEC has pulled out all the stops to overturn the EPA findings Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act made on December 7, 2009.

Even worse than all their employees losing their jobs, if Peabody, AMAX and other coal companies go under, we all freeze in the dark!
Actually, if you want a great laugh, read Jeremy Clarkson's review of the Honda Insight from the Times.
(Oh, I've so despaired of American media that when I'm not reading FR, I read British, Russian and Australian news outlets. The Times, without adjectives means what most of us Yanks call The Times of London.)
“This company may be doing this for its survival...”
What they are doing is important to our own survival. Pray for Peabody success in this endeavor.
Yesterday Rush said he didn’t fear for his safety from the average leftist, he’s had and has that covered for years - it’s the Gorelionies who stand to loose trillions that has him worried. Former Goldman Sachs partner David Bloods, Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, Silver Spring Networks and the rest of Sen. Moonbeam’s cabal. This is really BIG money.
There big and powerful that’s for sure. My guess is they are all in a panic. Do you know if the lamestream media is even reporting on the whole global warming fiasco? I don’t watch them, but, I’ve talked to a couple of people who haven’t a clue of what is going on and they are both greenies, without much knowledge, just following like a bunch of lemmings.
You hate bluegrass music???? You need to see some kind of a specialist because you ain’t right. Hell, you can’t even find the shift key.
i know where the shift key is, i just choose to ignore it unless i want to yell.
Glad someone is finally starting to fight back.
Right this very minute I’m listening to Bill Monroe.
you are a brave and strange man. ;)
THANK YOU for the link! And see post #59 from WVNan.
Good.
The Left has employed many unethical but effective tactics through the years and we have wondered how to fight them without becoming them. This may be the way.
One of their favorites is called the Cloward-Piven strategy which basically is designed to overwhelm the system and bring the government to its knees. This will be a perfect way to use that against them and now is the perfect time. They are overplaying their hand but if we don't stop them now it will be too late.
Those secret "legal motinos" might be just the answer.
