thanks for posting that . I was looking for a factual article rather than a econutter press release.

One more point to all who think the process can not be checked. If the adopted regulations exceed the statutory authority granted by the legislature or are "arbitrary and capricious" they can be challenged in court. That is why the utilities and industry are going to challenge them.

Interestingly enough, the environmental board did not consider climate science in adopting the regulations but instead looked on it as being "settled science" as do the feds. They sided with the enviros who said all would be rosy and green when these were adopted. The locals (away from Santa Fe) had a different take when public hearings were held in their towns last summer. They were packed with citizens who took exception to the rosy scenarios and said the regulations would cost jobs, not create them.
