I don't mean that in the Don Imus way.
I'm needed in Bismarck, ND, to argue a motion before an Administrative Law Judge on whether my client, Dakota Resource Council, can bring evidence about the future economic cost of carbon regulation in a proceeding for siting a new coal-fired power plant. It might seem like an obvious thing to consider, but the North Dakota legislature has taken care of that. They passed a law barring regulators from considering the anticipated cost of future environmental laws or regulations. We have to try to convince an elected judge in lignite coal country that the law doesn't apply to our particular proceeding. Which saint do I pray to?

wait. what?
The state passed a law saying that regulator can't even consider the cost of future environmental laws?
I could understand saying that this should not be the sole determining factor, since it's in the future and all.
But, NO consideration seems a bit extreme.
Good luck with that. (sorry)
