    06/01/2015 Opinion Download Opinion issued reversing denial of challenge, but affirming denial of claims regarding climate and energy impacts. The California Court of Appeal reversed a trial court’s denial of a challenge to the City of Pasadena’s approval of the Glenarm Power Plant Repowering Project. In an unpublished decision, the court agreed with the petitioner that the City had failed to conduct an adequate analysis of the impacts of supplying water to the project. The court rejected claims, however, that the analysis of climate and energy impacts was inadequate.
