Groups sue Montana regulators over climate inaction

Original: Groups sue PSC for refusing to consider climate change

Environmental groups have filed a lawsuit against Montana's Public Service Commission, accusing the utility regulator of refusing to consider climate change when weighing energy decisions. The legal challenge targets the commission's stated policy of excluding climate impacts from its review of utility projects, arguing that approach violates state requirements. Coverage is circulating through Montana outlets, with the case expected to test how far regulators must account for greenhouse gas emissions.

Why now: The lawsuit is new and raises questions about whether state utility regulators must weigh climate impacts in energy decisions.
