1 Numbered paragraph 1 of the Application refers this entity as “Evergreen Energy, LLC”. Application at 2. This
decision memorandum refers to the current Seller as “Evergreen Energy, Inc” because that is the name that the
Application’s quotation of the Amendment uses. Application at 3. “Evergreen Energy, Inc” also seems to be the
relevant entity on the Idaho Secretary of State’s website.
