Groups sue state utility board over climate inaction
Original: Groups sue state utility board to force action on climate change
Environmental groups have filed a lawsuit against Montana's state utility regulator, seeking to compel the board to take climate change into account when approving utility plans and investments. The suit argues the Public Service Commission has failed in its duty to address greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector. It is the latest in a growing wave of legal actions pushing US state agencies to act on climate.
Why now: Lawsuits against state regulators over climate policy are drawing attention amid rising legal pressure on governments to address emissions.
