The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether it will take up a pivotal climate lawsuit case that could have an enormous impact on energy companies—and energy costs—for all Americans.

The Court has scheduled a conference on Dec. 12 to decide if it will grant review in the case of Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, one of more than 30 climate lawsuits now proliferating around the United States in which states, cities, and counties accuse oil and gas companies of causing global warming and extreme weather.
