EPA improperly relied upon provisions in the Clean Air Act's (CAA) market-based program that were meant to deal with acid rain, the panel proceeded to vacate completely the EPA's method for allocating emissions allowances to upwind states. This ruling already has had a significant impact on the emissions trading market. Following the decision, the valuation of NOx and SO2 emission credits free fell. Several utilities have already disclosed financial hits in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Some people misunderstood Article 78 in Stark and Warren
- The Article 78 decision is a precedent-setting case that will be referenced for years to come. It shows that citizens have the power to hold their local governments accountable and that there are consequences if government does not follow the law. I believe that a compromise exists for the Jordanville Wind project if only the town boards are willing to listen to their citizens’ concerns and follow the law. - cwwgroup on 2008-02-01

Ruling a setback for wind project
-
WARREN — A new court ruling will delay the Jordanville Wind project and is raising questions whether the developer might drop the project in southern Herkimer County.
State Supreme Court Justice Donald Greenwood of Onondaga County ruled that the Warren Town Board failed to look closely enough at the project’s potential impact. The town was the lead agency for a state-required environmental review.
