17 environmental groups sue Montana utility regulator over climate

Original: 17 groups sue Montana Public Service Commission to require considering climate change

A coalition of 17 groups has filed a lawsuit against the Montana Public Service Commission, demanding that the regulator consider climate change when making decisions about utilities. The suit was covered by local outlets including the Bozeman Daily Chronicle and Daily Montanan. The case seeks to force climate impacts into the commission's official review process for energy planning in the state.

Why now: It is a new legal challenge to a state regulator's handling of climate change, a flashpoint in US energy and climate policy.
