Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer Talks About His Ambitious Plans for Wind Power

In Montana, one of the country’s windiest places, Gov. Brian Schweitzer http://governor.mt.gov/ is trying to solve that transmission and storage challenge by adopting the "build it and they will come" approach. Wind farms are popping up across the state, and Schweitzer believes it’s only a matter of time before the technology follows.

Schweitzer is passionate about transforming Montana into a renewable energy leader. In a recent interview, he discussed this and other issues important to Montana’s future, such as the Real ID Act and how to foster a new generation of students who are interested in math, science and engineering.
