[QUOTE="SimplyMe, post: 77331198, member: 9588"] Sorry, no, it isn't a shallow win. Additionally, I think it could be difficult for the state to successfully appeal. The legislature passed a law (signed by the governor) that bans new energy projects in the state to considering greenhouse gas emissions in the environmental reviews. Since the Montana Constitution specifically requires the state to, "maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations.” To me, that requirement that actually bans taking greenhouse gas emissions into account when approving new energy projects is a clear violation of the Montana Constitution requirement for a "clean and healthful environment." This case is about a real life issue and not obligating the state to go along with every "policy idea that's floated;" the case was specifically to overturn the portion of the law that bans looking at greenhouse gas emissions when approving new energy projects.
