Dozens of activists are expected to gather in Fulton County Superior Court on Tuesday to ask a judge to reconsider the state's decision to issue an air pollution permit to the developers, Houston-based Dynegy Inc. and New Jersey-based LS Power Group.
They claim the $2 billion project would violate federal and state clean air laws by not regulating carbon dioxide. They also contend the plant's builders are failing to use the best technology to control other pollutants.
The case is among the first challenges against coal-fired plants filed since the Supreme Court's April 2007 decision that carbon dioxide could be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Investor Julian Roberts believes the poor economy could last as long as 10 to 15 years, according to CNBC.
