The Bush energy corridors we’re challenging are designated in eleven western states that don’t include Texas. However if the Bush energy corridors are allowed to stand and not modified, we’re likely to see other potential wind energy investors come to the same conclusion as Pickens.

Earthjustice attorney Katie Renshaw is the lead attorney on the case filed yesterday and would be happy to tell you more about the issues involved.
