17个组织起诉蒙大拿州公用事业委员会 要求能源决策必须考虑气候风险

海伦娜——17个组织已向密苏拉县(Missoula County)地方法院起诉蒙大拿州公用事业委员会(PSC),要求裁定该委员会在监管天然气与电力公司时,负有考虑气候风险的宪法义务。诉状由「地球正义」(Earthjustice)与西部环境法中心于10月15日提交。
此案源于2024年2月四十多个组织向委员会提出的请愿:委员会于2025年9月拒绝请愿,并于2026年9月15日再次确认拒绝。委员会法律顾问主张,委员会是行政机构、无权解释州宪法;原告则援引州最高法院2024年12月在「海尔德诉蒙大拿州案」(Held v. Montana)中的裁决——蒙大拿州宪法保障居民享有清洁健康环境的权利。(GSM 据多家媒体报道)
17 Groups Sue Montana PSC, Saying Utility Regulation Must Consider Climate Risks
HELENA — Seventeen organizations have sued the Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) in Missoula County District Court, asking the court to rule that the commission has a constitutional duty to consider climate risks when regulating gas and electric utilities. The complaint was filed on October 15 by Earthjustice and the Western Environmental Law Center.
The case grows out of a February 2024 petition by more than forty organizations, which the PSC rejected in September 2025 and again on September 15, 2026. The commission's counsel argues it is an administrative agency without authority to interpret the state constitution; the plaintiffs cite the Montana Supreme Court's December 2024 ruling in Held v. Montana, which affirmed a constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment. (GSM, based on multiple media reports)
