Energy Issues

Our modern world is one that runs on electrical energy. We cannot eliminate its use but we can ensure that we produce it in the most responsible ways possible. The Montana Green Party promotes the use and development of renewable energy sources: solar, bio-mass, hydrogen and wind power. We want to discourage the expansion of fossil-fuel burning energy production, the construction of new dams and we advocate the total phase-out of nuclear power generation. We believe that the state has an important role to play by investing in and regulating our energy system. The Montana Green Party supports the establishment of a State Power Authority and the re-regulation of power production and distribution in the state. We believe that power should be produced and controlled by Municipal Utility Districts that are responsible to the people and communities they serve and are focused on providing clean, inexpensive power, not profits for out-of-state corporations.
