蒙大拿寻求公众对要求化石燃料项目进行温室气体评估的新规则的投入。 Montana seeks public input on new rules requiring greenhouse gas assessments for fossil fuel projects.

在2023年最高法院作出允许在环境审查中考虑气候影响的裁决之后,蒙大拿的环境质量部正在寻求公众对评估项目温室气体排放的指南草案的意见。 Montana’s Department of Environmental Quality is seeking public input on draft guidance for assessing greenhouse gas emissions from projects, following a 2023 Supreme Court ruling that allowed climate impacts to be considered in environmental reviews. 该指南是根据2025年参议院第221号法案制定的,要求对化石燃料项目进行排放分析,并在必要时允许其他项目使用。 The guidance, created in response to 2025’s Senate Bill 221, requires emissions analysis for fossil fuel projects and allows it for others if needed. 它提供了衡量直接和间接排放的工具,承认温室气体的全球混合,但注意到每个项目都有助于气候变化。 It provides tools to measure direct and indirect emissions, acknowledging global mixing of greenhouse gases but noting each project contributes to climate change. 环境团体欢迎向前迈出的一步,但批评指南限制分析,未能将排放与当地损害或经济影响联系起来。 Environmental groups welcome the step forward but criticize the guidance for limiting analysis and failing to connect emissions to local harms or economic impacts. 公众应在10月30日前发表评论,在比林斯、米苏拉和海伦娜举行听取会议。 Public comments are due by October 30, with listening sessions in Billings, Missoula, and Helena.
