These Attorney Generals are in states that were just blacked out. Guess they want to go black permanently. The error message I am getting does not indicate that my posts are too long. So I don't think SI has just cut our message length.

States Planning Their Own Suits on Power Plants
By RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr. and CHRISTOPHER DREW

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 — The attorneys general of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut say they are ready to open a new round of litigation to force power plants to make billions of dollars of pollution-control improvements after a decision by the Bush administration to abandon more than 50 investigations into violations of the Clean Air Act.

The state officials said they would move quickly to fill some of the void left by the Environmental Protection Agency, which decided this week to drop the investigations at the old coal-fired plants, a major source of the air pollution that drifts over the Northeast.
