Montana hears NW Energy Coalition’s efficiency message
The NW Energy Coalition Spring 2010 Conference in Missoula provided a forum for the message that energy efficiency is cheaper, faster to acquire and cleaner than any other resource that might meet new electricity demand in the coming decades. Fortunately, the Missoulian and other media outlets heard the message and delivered it to their readers/listeners/viewers.
The stories note two positive paths–meeting the needs of Montanans without expensive, dirty new power plants, and profiting from power created but not consumed in Montana by selling it on the national grid.
The latter path is grist for the policy mill, of course, for there is real competition out there. The real news is that Montana has once again had the notion of energy efficiency as the most compelling way to meet new energy demand injected into its debate.
