Obama's war on fossil fuels suffers court defeat

"Affordable Energy Means American Jobs"

While the national focus is on the three day US Supreme Court arguments on ObamaCare, a decision made by a federal circuit court ruled against the radicalized EPA.

From AP:

A federal judge says the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency exceeded its authority in revoking permits for what could now become West Virginia's largest mountaintop removal mine.

In a ruling Friday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C., ruled in favor of St. Louis-based Arch.

She declares a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water pollution permit for the Spruce No. 1 mine in Logan County is "valid and in full force."

Arch spokeswoman Kim Link says the company is pleased with the decision.

It's a victory for business, job seekers, and our energy industry. But I'm sure we haven't heard the last about this battle in President Obama's war on fossil fuels.

Folks, this struggle isn't just about gasoline.
