Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Steve Running, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and University of Montana professor, isn’t a big fan of what’s termed "clean coal," which is touted as environmentally friendly by Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer.

While it’s technically possible to capture the carbon dioxide emitted by coal-fired plants and sequester the gas underground, the cost and energy involved to do so is "so overwhelming it doesn’t end up as being logical," Running said Tuesday. He was in Helena to lecture on the effects of climate change to Montana.
