I hope they run political ads on every station in every congressional district throughout the entire 2010 election.
What took em soo long?
I am glad to see them doing this.
PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION! Keep this up mining companies. I might get my coal mined yet. Happy happy happy!
Wow. This is good news.
Algore’s carbon credits traded as high as $7 a year or so ago.
They now trade at 10 cents.
His company is in the tank.
Just rewards for a snake-oil salesman.
I don't know who leaked those emails, but, may God bless them richly on all levels of there life.
Finally - somebody challenging this tyrannical administration in the courts - hope they include in their presentation that tape of the tyrant-in-chief Obama gloating that he will get his way and “bankrupt the coal companies” in the process.......
YeeeHaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting. The oil industry needs to follow.
And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in asking
Mister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away
- John Prine’s “Paradise”
How about a RICO or class action suit by all direct and indirect customers of Peabody Coal or other users of electricity produced from coal?! Lets all sue their a$$es! Tie ‘em up legally for years.

Statement of Peabody Energy Regarding Petition for Reconsideration to EPA
Peabody Energy today filed a detailed petition citing new information as a basis to urge the U.S. EPA to reconsider its claim that greenhouse gases endanger human health.
Under the Clean Air Act, EPA’s “endangerment finding” could mean regulation of hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of buildings, farms, businesses and other facilities in the U.S.
Peabody believes that EPA ignored its obligation to render sound judgment and conduct a rigorous review of science, instead relying almost exclusively on the work of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as a major basis for its recent endangerment finding.
The IPCC is an international body whose work is not subject to U.S. data quality standards or consistently peer reviewed.
Compounding this error, EPA outsourced its scientific obligations to an agency whose work has since been shown to be deeply tainted by flaws, in light of multiple instances of errors, manipulated data and gaps in information that make conclusions unreliable. It is clear that the intent of some was to shape a report to satisfy an agenda that is political and not scientific.
Given the seriousness of the flaws by the IPCC, relied upon by EPA, the immediacy of draconian regulation is unwarranted. There is no sufficient basis to implement regulations that would harm a fragile economy, further suppress investment and raise energy costs for Americans. The agency needs to step back and begin a thorough review of the real state of scientific understanding of greenhouse gases.
To the extent that long-term concern regarding greenhouse gas emissions still validly exists, climate change is at worst a long-term challenge - not the immediate crisis that has been conveyed. There is ample time to develop low-emissions technologies such as carbon capture and storage, which global agencies and multiple nations believe are essential for meeting long-term carbon goals.
This supplements Peabody’s original objections to the finding, which ignores the many societal benefits from coal use in helping people live longer and better, while focusing only on perceived costs. Peabody continues to believe that coal use is essential for U.S. economic growth and the advancement of human development around the world. Coal is the fastest growing fuel in the world and global coal demand is expected to increase more than 1.5 times faster than the combined growth rate of oil, natural gas, nuclear and renewables.
BTTT! Sure hope they win!
Just the beginning of the suits to come!
Man, I hope that this case sheds light on this whole subject. It’s time to bring the public up to speed on this fraud that has been bestown upon them.
I want to see an avalanche of lawsuits because of this.
Never heard of Peabody before.
This company is now on my hero list.
And with the demise of the immoral McCain-Feingold Law, Peabody may make its voice heard in the next election cycle that would be devastating to the Climate Scammers.
Meanwhile headline news keeps talking ad nauseum about Tiger Woods affaires as some kind of breaking news...
Funny!!!
Obama’s cronies on their heels!
Well, somebody had to do it.
Getting Michael Mann and James Hansen under oath after they produce documents would be yummy.
