Superior Court judges rules in favour of teens regarding emissions

Judge Hollis Hill issued the ruling Tuesday. It will require ECY to reconsider the petition filed by eight teens last year. The petition asked for officials to develop policy-limiting carbon dioxide emissions based on best available science.
