Billings, Montana invited to boost clean energy

Billings could be a model for how a city can move toward clean energy in ways that create jobs and spur the local economy.

During a lunch meeting Tuesday of the Billings Business Roundtable, representatives from New Energy Cities http://www.newenergycities.org/ , a program that works with Pacific Northwest cities to move to energy efficiency, discussed the possibilities for Billings.

Rhys Roth, a founder of New Energy Cities, told the group he’s on “a scouting mission in Montana’’ to see if cities have the desire and willingness to become a partner with the program. New Energy Cities also is meeting with community leaders in Bozeman and Helena.
