A crushing rebuke to Governor John Hickenlooper’s challenge to Attorney General Cynthia Coffman’s prerogative to file a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan.

Just last week, per a Denver Post article on AG Coffman’s response to the Governor’s challenge, the court’s decision was expected next year. Apparently such time was unnecessary in the court’s view.

In light of the expected continuation of skyrocketing electricity prices for residential consumers in Colorado, this outcome is certainly in the people’s best interest.
