...what then exactly does he intend to do? For one thing, the President said, he wants to see us diversify our energy choices, greatly expanding the use of clean coal, solar, wind and nuclear power and biofuels. He also wants to see stepped-up research into improved batteries for hybrid cars...
...local and perennial, including how to manage growth and resources like water in the nation's fastest-growing region. But even the local issues have national implications. There is, for example, a competitive mania among the new Democratic Governors about developing alternative energy sources--especially the region's vast coal reserves and agricultural products.

Immigration is a huge issue in the region, and the Democrats have profited by supporting comprehensive plans--increased border control, along with guest-worker provisions...
...chemistry, plus maps and charts and assorted biofuel samples--in a colloquial, anecdotal and entirely accessible 40-minute luncheon talk at the Lions Club of Helena. "Now here's how Montana is going to save the world," he proclaimed at one point.

(Schweitzer has since received...
...need to stop doing that. We can save 1 billion bbl. through conservation. Things like more efficient cars, homes and appliances. We can produce another 1 billion bbl. of biofuels with agricultural crops like corn, soybeans and canola. We can produce 2 billion bbl. a year turning our enormous coal reserves to clean-burning gas.

I'm Brian Schweitzer, and I approved this message...

With 72 offices in 42 countries, Noble is the second largest coal merchant in the world and a major exporter of Asian-grown coffee. One of its latest lines is ethanol, an alternative fuel made from agricultural products that is becoming more attractive as oil prices rise. Noble is a large investor in ethanol factories in the U.S. "We have to constantly reinvent...
