Chalk up another loss for Leslie Rutledge in her fight to protect air polluters

More to come, but the Sierra Club notes that this follows Attorney General Leslie Rutledges unsuccessful to block the settlement. She was working in the interest neither clean air nor the Arkansans whose air is fouled by soot of a Wyoming coal producer that sold coal to the plants. The coal plants have also been linked to increased levels of ozone smog, harming communities in St. Louis and Memphis. The Independence and White Bluff coal plants are two of the largest unscrubbed coal plants in the nation. I encourage Entergy Arkansas CEO, Laura Landreaux, to accelerate the closure of these plants because it will save lives.
