Wyoming AG Says Lawsuit Over Washington Coal Port Must Go On – Sheridan Media

By Jim Angell, Cowboy State Daily The U.S. Supreme Court needs to stop the state of Washington from unconstitutionally blocking the delivery of Powder River Basin coal to foreign markets, according to the attorneys general for Wyoming and Montana. The two states, in a brief filed with the court, argued justices should take up their challenges to Washington’s denial of permits needed for a proposed coal terminal, even though the terminal’s developer has gone bankrupt. The brief filed Monday said the issues posed by Wyoming and Montana go far beyond which company will build a terminal and apply directly to Washington’s discrimination against the use of coal as fuel.

Solicitor General says Wyoming lacks reason to sue over coal port because of terminal bankruptcy

The U.S. Supreme Court needs to rule on the issue of whether Washington state can use its laws to block a proposed coal export terminal, even though the company proposing the terminal has declared bankruptcy, Gov. Mark Gordon said Wednesday. Gordon said he was disappointed with a filing by the U.S. Solicitor General in the lawsuit filed by Wyoming and Montana against the state of Washington over its refusal to issue permits for the Millennium Coal Export Terminal. The Solicitor General argued to the Supreme Court that because Millennium and its parent company have declared bankruptcy, no coal export terminal will be built, so the issue is moot.
