Previewing Suncor Energy v. Boulder County
A Federalist Society forum on the first big case of OT 2026.
Jonathan H. Adler | 3.6.2026 4:33 PM
Earlier today I participated in a Federalist Society Forum on the major climate change case on the docket for OT 2026: Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, a case I previewed here.
Joining me in the discussion were West Virginia Solicitor General Michael Williams and O.H. Skinner of the Alliance for Consumers. Annie Donaldson Talley of Luther Strange & Associates moderated. Video below.
