In Our View: Wyoming clings to past in dispute over coal The Columbian

The difficulty of transitioning the United States from coal can be seen in Wyoming.
Despite evidence that demand for coal is declining and that renewable energy is becoming less expensive than fossil fuels, Wyoming officials are clinging to the past. Lawmakers recently approved a $1.2 million fund earmarked for suing other states that block coal imports and cause Wyoming coal-fired plants to shut down.
Washington is likely to witness the impact of the fund. Last year, Wyoming and Montana asked the U.S. Supreme Court to override the rejection of a coal export dock along the Columbia River. Millennium Bulk Terminals had sought a coal terminal in Longview, but state regulators denied necessary permits.

LONGVIEW The Port of Longview will bid on the old Millennium Bulk Terminals land, which could dramatically increase the size of the port, port commissioners decided Wednesday.
A 540-acre parcel recently went up for sale when the parent company filed for bankruptcy.
The motion to submit a bid got a unanimous vote at Wednesday’s Board of Commissioners meeting after an executive session to discuss the plan. Executive sessions are not open to the public, but if the port is successful in its bid, it will bring the matter back in open session.
