The world’s 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 Peabody’s 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.

Down by the Green River where Paradise lay,
I can't take you back my darling young daughter,
Mr. Peabody's coal trains have hauled it away."
Hate to say it, but this will probably get dismissed under soverign immunity.
“Awesome....Next up take Al Gore to court and sue him for every penny of his il gotten Climate Fraud gains....”

I agree. I have been waiting for class action law suits filed by investors and other effected parties. In regards to the EPA, I think that state governments and other industries should sue this out of control agency. I tidal wave of lawsuits would overwhelm the EPA.
This is starting to get good!
They should sue AlGore, too, while they’re at it.
I think the Donald is correct. Gore should go back under whatever rock he crawled out from under.
I hope he loses his carbon guzzling mansion.
GOOD JOB! Keep it up.
I sent their office a thank you note as well...Told them I hope others join them for a class action lawsuit!

Not just the Americans who work directly for PEC ... also the Americans who use the electrical energy generated by burning Mr. Peabody's coal.
That's almost all of us ...
Whoohoo! Great news! Start praying now for their success!
Of your list only the Squiggley bulbs were mandated on the basis of the fraudulent “science”.
Catalytic converters get rid of unburnt hydrocarbons in car exhaust, which really are pollution, and thus cut down on smog in urbanized areas. Freon replacement was mandated on the basis of actual science: sampling of the ozone layer and a provable causal mechanism for the growth of the ozone hole (there are chemical reactions between O_3 and chloroflurohydrocarbons that can be readily verified), which, despite Rush Limbaugh’s conflation with AGW, has nothing to do with global warming when it happens whatever its cause.
And last I checked, not all automakers are introducing “hybrids” or electric cars (the only one of the Japanese “big 3” not plagued by recalls lately, Nissan, doesn’t have any in its lineup, and I’m fairly sure Chrysler, Kia, Hyundai, Suzuki, and Mazda have none on offer, and I’ve not heard of plans to introduce them) so the Prius, while it might help Toyota fulfill a CAFE mandate, is hardly the result of a government mandate, but rather a way for Toyota to profit from the nitwitted enthusiasms of the sort of people who think that low-flow toilets “save the earth”. But that’s the free market at work.
(Though it does make one wonder, whether too much of Toyota and Honda’s engineering expertise got diverted into work on electric power systems to the neglect of basic things like brakes.)
Obama promised to put our coal industry out of business. I hope Peabody cleans the administration’s clock!
Some of our drilling companies should get a liece of the lawsuit pie. The regs are killing our oil and natural gas exploration, every year it takes longer and longer to get permits for each individual site. IMO, most companies involved in the energy field havn’t rocked the boat out of fear of the governmnet grinding them underfoot with the IRS, EPA and OSHA.
Nissan has the Altima Hybrid for several years now.
