Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT02) joined by Arizona Congressmen Eli Crane and Andy Biggs at Stillwater Mine, Yellowtail Dam, Colstrip, and the CHS Refinery.
Is this the bill that will help save Colstrip, the coal mine, and the coal-fired power plant in Southeast Montana? Or, will Colstrip shut down anyway, and will ratepayers be left holding the bag?
"Saturday, January 4th, 2019 will go down as a dark day in Montana history. On this day, Colstrip Units 1 and 2 will be closed - with the doors dismantled and welded shut."
Well, first off- if coal is dead then why are the radical environmentalists still trying so hard to kill it with lawsuits, regulatory actions, and efforts to block coal export terminals? I mean- if coal is dead, then why are the enviro activists working so hard to beat a dead horse? Maybe it's because coal isn't dead.
Washington state regulators have estimated $20 million in needed repairs for a power plant in Montana raising concerns about the life of the generator.
