Environmental groups sue Montana utilities regulator over climate
Original: Groups sue PSC for refusing to consider climate change
Environmental and public-interest groups have filed a lawsuit against Montana's Public Service Commission, accusing it of unlawfully refusing to consider climate change when regulating utilities. The suit challenges the commission's decision to drop greenhouse gas emissions from its review of utility planning, arguing state law and constitutional environmental protections require the agency to weigh climate impacts. Similar legal efforts in Montana have already drawn national attention.
Why now: The lawsuit follows recent Montana court rulings favoring climate claims, making it part of a closely watched legal fight over state duties on climate change
