The amount of coal being mined is steadily going down due to a decreased demand from both China and coal-powered generators in Montana and Wyoming. The Public Service Commission in Montana plays a key role in how quickly our economy transitions from one form of energy to a different source of power generation. The panelists will look at the current rate case as well as the implications for Montana and its contribution to carbon in the atmosphere from energy production. Panelists include: Dr. Steve Running, Monica Tranel, Derf Johnson, and Steve Loken. Moderated by Mary Fitzpatrick. Sponsored by Northern Plains Resource Council and MEIC.
