White House Must Face Duke Energy Again

[cal04]

When the Bush administration lost an important air pollution case before an appeals court last year, it did an interesting about-face and sided with the electric power company that won.

Unfortunately for the administration, environmental groups persuaded the Supreme Court to take up the case over the objections of the government.

Now the administration's switch is being aired at the court in politically painful detail in the case of Environmental Defense v. Duke Energy Corp.

Arguments before the justices are scheduled for Wednesday and the government will be back where it started, siding against the power company to be consistent with its position in the lower courts.

2. Duke = Slime

Duke has a reputation as being very slimy; wouldn't want to be opposing them unless I had really good lawyers.
