Courtesy of the Billings Gazette, a write-up of the Gov’s visit to Montana. Man, this event sounds like it was a great time. The energy and excitement out in Montana are hard to match. It really shows you where the future of the party is:
“The Western Governors Association has pledged to produce 20,000 megawatts of clean energy by 2015.”
Governors from both parties have pledged this, he said, and it will be energy from many sources: solar, wind, biomass, ethanol and others.
The leadership for this has to come from the West, he said, promoting fuel efficiency, green buildings and clean coal synfuels.
“I want us (New Mexico) to be the Saudi Arabia of wind, solar and biomass,” he said. Richardson is not averse to providing tax credits for those who use solar power for buildings and homes.
Clean energy, tax cuts, and independence. Brought to you courtesy of Western Democrats. Anyone against any of those things?
