Regulatory Control Power Companies

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "States Can Sue Utilities Over Emissions, U.S. Panel Rules A two-judge panel of a federal appeals court has ruled that big power companies can be sued by states and land trusts for emitting carbon dioxide. The decision, issued Monday, overturns a 2005 District Court decision that the question was political, not judicial. (nytimes.com)".
I agree that this is a logical application of the law. Municipalities, state, and federal regulatory agencies must have legal control and policing power over private industry and commerce. However, the public will expect such control to be logical and evenhanded consistent with technological and financial considerations. Industry and commerce must also have the ability to appeal to the courts on any regulations which they feel are unnecessary or deleterious.
I see no need for Congress to enter this aspect of the dispute at this time, even though it is directly concerned with one of the major issues of our time, which is climate control.
