Energy and Climate Change

Big questions loom for states, utilities, the solar industry and anyone inclined to produce renewable energy from the sun or wind while remaining tied to the grid.

Nissan and Enel launch UK vehicle-to-grid smart energy trial that enables electric cars to sell power back to the national grid.

Renewable energy industry representatives and Bozeman city officials joined forces on Tuesday at Bridger Brewing to launch a campaign to push for the state to tap into its potential for wind and solar energy production.

With the technology maturing and public support growing, it’s looking more and more realistic.

This election cycle we’ve heard candidates saying things like, "Climate change is a religion, not a science." Does that make your brain explode?

With the recent expansion of Project Sunroof, tens of millions of potential solar customers from across the U.S. can now Google their own rooftops to find out if their home is suitable for solar panels.

The industries furthest along are those already dealing with climate change on a daily basis.

Public Policy Director for the Department of Environmental Quality, Kristi Ponozzo says Montana’s climate adds to its desirability.

At least six different companies from North Carolina, South Carolina, California and Virginia have called the county inquiring about the county’s solar regulations, Conell said.

Bullock said Montana must remain a leading energy producer while it also plans for a changing future.
