President Obama extols Montana’s wind energy potential

It was gratifying to hear President Barack Obama plug the Treasure State’s importance as a wind energy producer Friday, Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer said, but the real work of powering the country lies in the hands of his fellow governors, who are responsible for building a reliable transmission network.

In town for the National Governors Association annual conference, Schweitzer and about a dozen other Democratic state executives met with the president to talk chiefly about jobs and ways to get the country’s economy moving faster. They also talked about transportation, health care and education. And, Schweitzer said, they discussed energy development in the context of the uncertainty taking place in the oil-rich Middle East.
