环境团体对格鲁吉亚提出诉讼,要求批准新建化石燃料单位,声称这违反了臭氧水平不断上升地区的空气质量法。 Environmental groups sued Georgia over a permit for new fossil fuel units, claiming it violates air quality laws in a region with rising ozone levels.

环境团体对格鲁吉亚的监管者提起诉讼,罪名是允许格鲁吉亚电力公司在Plant Bowen建造4个天然气和石油单位的许可证,认为它违反了联邦空气质量法,因为它未能在一个仍然超过臭氧标准的区域实施更严格的排放控制。 Environmental groups sued Georgia regulators over a permit allowing Georgia Power to build four gas and oil units at Plant Bowen, arguing it violates federal air quality laws by failing to enforce stricter emissions controls in a region still exceeding ozone standards. 尽管亚特兰大进行了2022年的重新设计,但最近的数据显示,臭氧水平再次超过联邦限度,增加了哮喘和心脏病等健康风险。 Despite Atlanta’s 2022 redesignation, recent data shows ozone levels have again surpassed federal limits, raising health risks like asthma and heart issues. 原告说,国家无视自己的空气质量计划,在没有必要保障措施的情况下批准了项目,同时提供了清洁能源等替代办法。 The plaintiffs say the state ignored its own air quality plan and approved the project without required safeguards, while alternatives like cleaner energy sources are available. 此案现交由格鲁吉亚国家行政听证会办公室审理。 The case is now before Georgia’s Office of State Administrative Hearings.
