In the News: Winds of change: Montana’s past and future collide in the Legislature’s wind energy debate

RNW's Director of Montana & Idaho, Kyle Unruh, was quoted in Winds of change: Montana’s past and future collide in the Legislature’s wind energy debate, published by The Electric.

"The wind that tumbles through Montana’s peaks and valleys is an increasingly hot commodity, said Kyle Unruh, from Renewable Northwest. Montana is ranked anywhere from second to fifth in the nation for wind energy potential, according to various studies. Out-of-state utilities are looking to Montana’s wind as they expand their renewable energy portfolios, Unruh said, and it would be wise for Montana’s economy to accept those invitations as their customer base for coal exports shrinks."
