The Tabak template strikes again.
Simply think of each smokestack as one gigantic equivalent of an SHS system.
Don’t we need to apply the same standard to the planet that we apply to places where people gather?
If it’s bad in a bar, think of how much worse it is for the planet.

And sometimes the big companies just pay suits like this to shut folks up. They’d better NOT. It’ll open the door wide open.

This is just plain insanity. If it weren’t for the energy companies, New Orleans would be just another coastal fishing village. This looks like a lawyer driven lawsuit where the lawyers get 45% off the top and the plaintiffs blow their winnings within 6 months. If this thing goes through, the enegery companies ought to leave Louisiana for good. Let them rot.

Yes. When Katrina hit the president of one of the maintenance boards was in jail serving time for misappropriating maintenance funds.

In other news, United Midgets sued the city for building sidewalks too close to their asses.

If the enviro-wackos really believed that the oceans would rise 50 ft. (or whatever) in the next 100 years they would not be rebuilding NO. The fact that they are rebuilding it proves that they don’t believe this baloney.

Mississippi Gulf Coast property owners who suffered property damage during Hurricane Katrina have won an appeal in their efforts to sue energy, fossil fuel and chemical companies for their greenhouse gas contributions to global warming. *face palm*
I thought Dickie Scruggs was out of business. I wonder who's picked up the mantle of the "King of Torts"?
