Companies, corporations, and elected officials have moved the pieces determining Montana's energy landscape for over a century. Today, NorthWestern Energy supplies power to two-thirds of Montana's energy consumers. They could transform our state into an affordable and renewable energy powerhouse, but choose instead to depend on expensive and dirty fossil fuels. Why are they planning to spend over $1 billion building a fleet of gas fired power plants over the next two decades? Why hasn't the Public Service Commision, the one publicly elected agency tasked with regulating them, defended us from rising energy prices and a climate catastrophe? We'll inspect the past and present of these two entities to uncover the answers to these questions and actualize an equitable and sustainable energy future.
