How States Can Lead the Way On Energy

The Billings Gazette has a nice writeup of how Montana's efforts to increase its renewable energy supply are heading in the right direction. The picture (right) with the article tells it all: wind energy is going to be greatly expanded in the Big Sky state, and it will undoubtedly be supported by the recent legislation forcing energy companies to generate a minimum amount of their energy from renewable sources.

This project, along with Montana's new efforts on ethanol and coal-to-liquid-fuel shows that states can really lead the way in helping get America off foreign oil and into cleaner domestic sources of energy (and rest assured PLAN will most certainly get into energy policy when we get up and running). That will be especially important considering how inadequate the recently passed federal energy bill is in addressing our country's energy challenges.
