Industrial Utility-Scale Solar Power Facility Projects
that Have Not Undergone NEPA Review

Fill Out and Submit the Form Below to Participate in the Amicus Brief.  Submissions are DUE by Friday 2/14 5pm CST.

What is an amicus brief?
• An amicus brief literally means “friend of the court.” The idea is that an amicus brief will help the court in deciding the case.
• Amicus briefs are submitted by individuals and entities who are not parties to the action, but who have an interest in the litigation for some reason.
• For example, amicus briefs can be submitted by professors, social scientists, doctors, nonprofits, or individuals who are interested and have something important to say about a case.
• It is important to note that amici are NOT parties to the action. They do not become plaintiffs or defendants. They are not entitled to recover damages. Instead, they are simply friends of the court helping the court by providing useful information or argument.

When are amicus briefs helpful?
• Amicus briefs are helpful when they are succinct, well-reasoned, and focused on the issue at hand.
• Amicus briefs should bring to the court’s attention information or argument that is not otherwise readily available to the court.
• Amicus briefs are particularly helpful when they are submitted by individuals or entities who have a clear interest in the outcome of the action, and also have a unique perspective, point of view, or argument to bring to the Court’s attention.

When are amicus briefs not helpful?
• Amicus briefs are not helpful when they merely repeat the arguments already being made by either the plaintiffs or defendants.
• Amicus briefs are also not helpful when they address issues that ARE NOT before the court. Amicus briefs should stay focused on the issue or issues that the Court is addressing.
• Finally, amicus briefs are not helpful if they are overly long, clearly biased or partisan, and overly argumentative.

Attorney Jeff Wald has been retained to file an Amicus Brief on behalf of Concerned Kansans impacted by Utility-Scale Solar Power Facility Pojects. The fees for filing the brief will be split by the total number of Amicus Brief participants. A participant can be an individual, business, or organization. The more participants, the less the cost per participant.

Once all submissions are received by the Friday February 14, 2025 5pm Deadline, those who have requested to participate, will receive an email from Attorney Jeff Wald providing “Next Steps” details.  These details will include the total count of participants included in the Amicus Brief, the final cost per participant, based on the total number of participants, and a secure link to submit payment to Attorney Jeff Wald.

By submitting the form below you are not committing to payment of the final determined per participant cost.  If, when you receive the “Next Steps” email from Attorney Jeff Wald, you are not able to afford the cost to participate you can reply to the email and ask Attorney Jeff Wald if you can still participate by contributing a lesser amount, or you can request that he remove you from the Amicus Brief. 

By submitting the form below your are not becoming a Plantiff in the Federal CIVIL ACTION LAWSUIT NO. 5:25-cv-4003 rather you are “supporting” the case by being a part of the Amicus Brief that will be attached to the case.  Your name and your story/testimony/exhibits that you submit, should you choose, may be used in cases to support the concerns, in this case, over large Utility-Scale Solar Power Facility Projects, massively subsidized by the federal government (IRA tax credits) not adhering to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).  Any federally fundeded Renewable Energy Project that has not adhered to meaningful NEPA review to prevent potential environmental harms associated with the renewable project, constitutes a violation of Kansas law.

Thank you for supporting this historical and very important Amicus Brief!
