William Eubanks will be speaking at the 33rd Annual Meeting of the National Conference of Regulatory Attorneys on Wednesday, June 23 at 11:00 a.m. at the Embassy Suites in Charleston, West Virginia.  The focus of the discussion will be the recent decision in Animal Welfare Institute v. Beech Ridge Energy, 675 F. Supp.2d 540 (D. Md. 2009), where a federal judge enjoined the majority of construction and operation of an industrial wind energy facility under the Endangered Species Act because such activities, in the absence of an incidental take permit, would unlawfully kill and injure federally endangered Indiana bats.
