Ind. Decisions - More on: "Jury rejects pollution suit against New Albany power plant"
Updating this ILB entry from earlier today re the Gallagher plant in New Albany, the Indianapolis Star this afternoon has this report on another [aspect of the same] jury decision, this one involving the Wabash River plant in Vigo County:
A federal court jury in Indianapolis has found that Cinergy Corp., bought by Duke Energy two years ago, violated the U.S. Clean Air Act when it made upgrades to a coal-fired power plant in Vigo County.Bloomberg news reported that Thursday's verdict involving the Wabash River Station came after a two-week trial. Duke was cleared of wrongdoing at four other sites.
Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Duke claimed victory. Duke officials believe they won't have to pay fines but simply install up-to-date pollution controls at the site, Bloomberg reports.
