Thank you for this cogent legal analysis. Perhaps you'd like to explain how your analysis applies to
the relevant provision of the Montana Constitution. --Bob

I think it's a bunch of adults using kids to further their own agenda, a la Thunberg. We'll see if it survives appeal. The 'relevant provision' can be contrued in a wide variety of ways. I do wonder if anyone has informed these children what they stand to lose without benefit of fossil fuels and their by-products. I somehow doubt that's been covered in depth.

There are far more young people in Montana who make a living in the coal/oil/gas industry providing necessary stuff for us than these few spoiled brats who would have us freeze and starve in the dark if they get their way.
I would also expect (yeah, right) that the "Young People" will be strongly behind any proposed mining expansions that will be necessary to produce all the solar panels and wind towers that they want.

Thank you for your cogent legal analysis. Perhaps you'd like to explain how your outdated citation is relevant here.

Congratulations to the king of the nitpick. You got me.
