BREAKING: Coal injunction tossed; court says governments get to make environmental policy. In other words, the coal injunction is dead it its tracks. @SaskPower can rejuvenate its coal fleet. The decision is a rebuke of the trend of judge-made law and activist courts, clearly noting the supremacy of the legislative branch in making policy.
This is a huge decision on many points – not just on coal, but on putting activist judges in their place. It will be cited for a long time to come.
The pendulum just may be swinging back to sanity.

Congrats! Here in America … every Blue State and Blue City are filing multiple lawsuits against ALL our major oil companies claiming $Trillions in damages. Their process is the punishment. Those State and City attorneys are busy with global warming … and can’t be bothered prosecuting common criminals.
As of early 2026, there have been over 3,000 climate change lawsuits filed globally, with a significant number targeting American oil companies for their role in contributing to global warming. These cases often seek compensation for climate damages (multiple $Trillions) and hold companies accountable for misleading advertising related to climate change.

Beautiful Coal
DO NOT GO NUCLEAR. You are inviting debt and incompetence
Nuclear has it’s good points but it’s better and less costly to exploit what you already have.
Although I agree with you, Lupus, as far as you go, we should still be pushing ahead with nuclear now for strategic reasons. Reliance on one energy source is not sensible. Forget “renewable solar and wind”.
You won’t get any argument from me on that. I was more concerned about governments closing perfectly usable power plants with a lot of years left in them just to switch to nuclear ones.
Ugh.
This is not a judicial ruling in favour of Saskatchewan’s planned use of coal,
nor a lost appeal.
… in June 2025 the premiere said he’d ignore Ottawa’s 2029 mandate to eliminate coal-fired power plants
… some commies sued to stop him from saying so
… the lawsuit was tossed because it’s up to the Liberal Party of Canada to sue, after 2029
Jornolithm is the ignorance or intentional distraction of the issue.
Brian’s article is unclear.
You spelled “nuclear” wrong.
