County judge stops 2 billion dollar coal plant in Fulton County George over CO2
Here you have Judge Thelma Moore (I think all her middle names prove something else), a local Fulton County judge stopping the building of a 2 billion dollar coal electric generation plant costing the county thousands of jobs. Aside from her misguided judgment on CO2 why would anyone let one county judge to have that much power over their lives?

When local people allow one person to have that much control over their livelihood they have given up their right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
When we the people allow junk science environmentalists to shut down energy production in this nation we should all join the Demented Delusional or Dumb Club.

While it may have seemed like a no-brainer to Moore to side with the local green elites against the out-of-state power company that applied for the permit, she actually wound up siding against the working people and economy of her own state.
For no good reason, Moore denied Georgia the many well-paying jobs associated with the $2 billion plant construction and permanent plant operations. There’s also the not-so-small matter of the much-needed energy the plant would have produced.
Watch for this sort of green justice to come your way. A lawyer for the activist group Environmental Defense told The New York Times she hopes other courts would pick up on Moore’s “reasoning
