Big Coal Sues PA to Block PA Carbon Tax + Court Hearing for Senate

Three cheers for Big Coal! We're not all that thrilled with using coal in power plants given there is a much more environmentally-friendly option--natural gas. But we're certainly not against coal energy and we're all for free enterprise and competition among fuel sources. The coal industry in Pennsylvania has our respect and admiration for standing up for itself and suing the state to block the insane Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) carbon tax. PA Gov. Tom Wolf is forcing his state to join RGGI, which will assess huge new taxes on both coal and gas-fired power plants, threatening to drive both out of business.
