The BBC have just picked up on Longleaf power station which is planned in Georgia, US.
It appears that is because no emissions limits were set for CO2. This is probably because the US didn't (until this ruling) recognise CO2 as being a polutant gas (actually it's not a pollutant - it occurs naturally, it is an undesirable emission though).
This complete mess of course can't happen in the UK. Our committments to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EUETS) and carbon capture and storage mean that we have effectively set CO2 emission caps.
Kingsnorth (and the others which will follow) still seem to be okay.
