"Texas Judge Will Rule Against Las Brisas Power Plant Air Permit"

"AUSTIN, Texas -- A Texas District Court judge Monday issued a letter announcing that he intends to rule against the state environmental agency's air permit for a proposed power plant in Corpus Christi."



"The ruling by Judge Stephen Yelenosky comes in a lawsuit brought by environmental groups seeking to reverse the permit authorizing the proposed 1,320 megawatt, $3.2 billion Las Brisas Energy Center planned for Corpus Christi's Inner Harbor.

Sierra Club, the Environmental Defense Fund, the local Clean Economy Coalition, and a coalition of Texas cities joined forces in 2009 to challenge the plant's air pollution permit, which the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued on January 26, 2011."

Environment News Service had the story May 15, 2012.
