CARE Name 6/28/06
28/06/06/22:49
At our Friday June 30 meeting we should decide what CARE should stand for.....Citizens Advocating Responsible Energy, Citizens Advocating Renewable Energy, or Citizens About Renewable Energy. Most folks I've talked with like the first option because it does include the possibility of IGCC, which many of us recognize needs to replace the old PC plants at Colestrip and in Billings. However, I also know that we all agree that renewable options are much more desirable and see IGCC as a last and not a first resort to the energy future of our state and our planet.

Dear folks: As those who read the Tribune know Schweitzer endorsed the Highwood plant. It really means we need to focus on what we can do like the EIS and writing letters with hopes that the DEQ will give up the cap and trade. Don’t forget to write your written comment to
