On Tuesday, June 21, 2016 Montana Governor Steve Bullock announced the release of his blueprint for the state’s energy future.  In a statement released by his office, the Governor said:

“Montanans should determine our energy future.  That’s why today I’m announcing a blueprint for a balanced and responsible plan that provides good-paying jobs for Montanans, strengthens our rural communities, and supports local schools, while safeguarding our quality of life.”  

With regard to the state’s energy future,  Bullock commented that having to choose between continuing to use coal as an energy source or addressing climate change was a “false choice”.   He noted both were possible.  To access a summary of the 26-page plan go to
