Our energy dilemma – Still no real direction in Montana or the nation

As the nation watches the continuing mega-disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, one seminal truth continues to pervade America’s energy policy—namely, we don’t have one.

Millions of dollars have been spent to fund endless seminars, studies, reports and calculations, but when it comes down to it, our nation’s approach to energy remains much the same as it has been for the last century—finding the supply to meet the endlessly increasing demand. But now, at least for the moment in this hectic land of short attention spans, we are semi-focused on the true costs of the failed plan to simply keep drilling, pumping, mining and burning whatever we can domestically while continuing to import and use energy at a breakneck pace while hopelessly polluting our atmosphere.
