The Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday invalidated the state's landmark Climate Protection Program (CPP), which aimed to slash greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel companies by 90 percent by 2050.
The state's rulemaking failed to "substantially comply” with the requirements for disclosure when adopting rules under the federal Clean Air Act of 1970, a three-judge panel of the state appeals court said.
"We conclude that the CPP rules are invalid," reads the ruling, authored by Judge Jacqueline Kamins.
The ruling follows a legal challenge by farmers, fossil fuel companies, and others, and comes as a setback to the Oregon state government's climate agenda.

Lawyers for the petitioners, which included Northwest Natural, Avista Corporation, and Cascade Natural Gas Corporation, argued that the EQC failed to disclose to them and others that hold air pollution permits under the federal Clean Air Act a written explanation of why the CPP goes beyond federal limits and any options considered and discarded.
This was the argument that the court's decision hinged on.

Praise God!
We are the carbon they want to eliminate.
It won’t matter.
This state is doomed to the path it’s set upon.
There is virtually ZERO CO2 in the atmosphere.

Between this and a Federal judge slapping down gruesome nuesman’s gun ban, it’s a feel good day.

This court has done a good job on this, and also the stoopid gun law that supposedly the people voted for, a ballot measure. Since OR has filthy dishonest elections, I doubt a majority of legal voters voted for it.
This state is doomed to the path it’s set upon.

As long as OR elections are rotten - with all mail in/illegals can vote. With clean elections it would be different.
