Montana’s lawmakers at center of climate debate

Montana’s congressional delegation appears to be at the center of the debate over global climate change.

All three Montana members said they believe global warming is a problem. They advocate the development of new clean-coal technologies and the increased use of renewable fuels, emphasizing those as much as any tough new curbs on emissions. Each man said he would have to look closely at any proposals put forward in Congress.

"These are guys who are going to help determine what the policy actually is, because they are the ones who are in the middle of this debate," said Frank Maisano, a Washington lobbyist and spokesman for several energy companies.
