The radicals of Earthjustice have struck again. Representing two other disgusting radical groups–the Sierra Club and Clean Air Coalition of Western New York–last week Earthjustice filed a lawsuit to block the sale of a truly tiny (55 megawatt) gas-fired power plant in Western New York (near Niagara Falls) to a Canadian bitcoin operator.
