The Georgia Court of Appeals on Tuesday struck down a superior court judge&#8217;s ruling that a proposed Early County coal-fired power plant&#8217;s air permit was invalid because it failed to include a limit on the power plant&#8217;s carbon dioxide emissions, but upheld part of the lower court&#8217;s decision that said an administrative law judge had applied the wrong standard of review at a hearing. The administrative law judge&#8217;s decision to award the permit was vacated and the matter was kicked back to the judge to review under the correct standard.           ]]></description>
