Montana and Wyoming find themselves increasingly isolated in what will ultimately be futile attempts to prop up a declining coal industry that seems doomed to go down in a flurry of ill-advised legislation and expensive lawsuits.
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte recently signed a pair of bills intended to bolster future prospects for the beleaguered Colstrip power plant by essentially forcing unwilling out-of-state majority co-owners of the plant to invest in costly repairs for the aging generating facilities. A pair of those companies immediately filed a lawsuit in federal court contending the bills unconstitutionally interfere with a private business contract.
Wyoming, meanwhile, is suing other states that are cutting off coal they import from Wyoming. That state’s legislature has appropriated more than $1 million just to pay for those lawsuits.
