Ind. Courts - Sierra Club files suit against Duke Energy
The ILB has received a release from the Hoosier Chapter of the Sierra Club, headed "Sierra Club Challenges Duke Energy’s Emissions Scheme: Pollution Limits on New Coal Plant Artificially Inflated," that begins:
The Sierra Club today took steps to hold Duke Energy accountable for failing to install modern pollution controls at its coal-fired power plant in Edwardsport, Indiana. Specifically, Sierra Club filed a citizen enforcement action in federal court in Indiana seeking an order prohibiting Duke’s illegal pollution. Since pollution limits for Duke’s new integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) coal plant will be set based on the amount of pollution released from the current Edwardsport plant, the failure to install modern pollution controls will allow Duke to release illegally high amounts of pollution from its new plant for decades to come.Here is a copy of the 14-page complaint, filed today in the SD of Indiana.
