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.

Gore has NEVER debated anyone and has always adopted that snide ‘the science is settled, idiot’ stand. I would pay large dollars to finally see this total asswipe UNDER OATH forced to defend his unscientific BS. Al, if you're reading this, know that your day is coming and retribution against you will be both severe and unrelenting.

“...it will be possible to hold Gore to account for the first time.”

Stick his stinkin’ feet in the fire :)

Well all the energy related companies should pile on now. As well as major industrial users, then a massive class action suit on behalf of the poor abused citizens “us”. Sue these suckers so hard their heads get sucked out of their butts!!

I thought I had seen a thread before:

There might be some useful links on it.

“Yes, a class action suit on behalf of every American who drives a car, or heats their home with oil or gas, or who uses electricity!!”

At the same time we need a class-action to force drilling in offshore oil fields, in the Bakken oil fields, and wherever else we have oil reserves the gov’t is not allowing drilling. And we need to force new refinery construction in this country.

And we need to force the gov’t to rebate 100% of the difference between $1.00 a gallon and the price paid. Let’s take back the stimulus dollars now!

Everyone who owns a car, heats or cools their houses, uses any electricity, or has a job should join in.

The Left has to be stopped.

The immediate reaction for leftist will be dismissal because its “evil coal”. But in reality, who else is going to challenge it. Is someone with no bone at all in the fight going to challenge it? The coal companies are saying, hey you are about to rake me over the coals (pun intended)...they are saying prove it...so in a court of law it will have to be proved or disproved. If it is proven, they will be forced to comply, if it is not, the defecation impacts the rotary device for a whole whole lot of things.
