Gov. Wolf’s Carbon Tax Scheme Gets Court Hearing Yesterday & Today

We're holding on by a thread folks, with respect to PA's onerous new carbon tax. Back in April, we told you about a lawsuit filed by Big Coal against the Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf administration to block Wolf's attempt to force the state to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a carbon tax on coal- and gas-fired power plants (see Big Coal Sues PA to Block PA Carbon Tax + Court Hearing for Senate). A hearing in the state's Commonwealth Court beginning yesterday and running through today may help decide the fate of RGGI. That hearing is the only thing that can postpone RGGI until next year when we stand a better chance of outright defeating it.
