CASPER – Wyoming’s lawsuit over a blocked coal export terminal is moot because the company behind the project is bankrupt and won’t be building it, the federal government argued in a new filing to the U.S. Supreme Court. In her brief, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argued that because the Millennium Bulk Terminal project is dead, there is no legal controversy for the nation’s highest court to consider. Lighthouse Resources, the proposed terminal’s parent company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December. While the Supreme Court has yet to weigh in on the matter, the brief represents the latest obstacle to the effort by Wyoming and Montana to use the courts to pursue those states’ long-stated desire to ship Powder River Basin coal to overseas markets in Asia.
