[MCN] Hop on the Bus from Missoula to Helena 4/8 to Pack the PSC & Accelerate Climate Action in Montana

[Caitlin Piserchia]

40 organizations and businesses across Montana recently petitioned the MT
Public Service Commission to make a rule change
<https://dailymontanan.com/2024/02/28/40-orgs-businesses-to-public-service-commission-consider-climate-in-utility-regulation/>
requiring
that they consider climate change when making energy decisions from here on
out. We're calling on the PSC to move forward on Held v. Montana. The
response from the PSC: *a one-time opportunity for public comment on
whether or not the Public Service Commission should consider climate change
in future decisions this coming Monday at 9 am. *If this change were to
happen, it would be a huge leap forward towards a more affordable,
renewable energy future in Montana.

*We want to pack the room Monday, April 8!* The Sierra Club has rented a
bus for Missoulians who want to travel to the hearing. The bus will leave
early Monday morning and return later that afternoon, and we still have
plenty of open spots. It's a great opportunity to get to know more people
that care about the climate as much as you do.

You can join in person, in Helena, or remotely. *Learn more and **RSVP for
the hearing here
