Appeal on coal plant ruling

Georgia business groups are appealing a judge's decision to halt the construction of a coal-fired power plant. They say the ruling could stall other energy plants and hamper economic development throughout the state. A Fulton County judge made her ruling based on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that carbon dioxide could be regulated as a pollutant. The judge’s decision halted the construction of the Longleaf Energy Plant in Early County in southwest Georgia.
