Supreme Court will not hear Sierra Club appeal in Springfield case

The Missouri Supreme Court will not hear the Sierra Club's appeal of a 2006 Greene County Circuit Court decision paving the way for construction of a pulverized coal-fired boiler by Springfield City Utilities.
The Greene County Court was the Sierra Club's second effort to stop construction after failing with the Missouri Air Conservation Commission. After the circuit court decision went against the organization, it appealed to the Southern District Court of Appeals, where it was again rejected. The background of the case can be found at that link.

More coal fired power plants, more mercury released in the air. Thats ok, the people of Missouri must love it, and they better get use to it.
