Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Prominent Silicon Valley investor Vinod Khosla has responded to the "60 Minutes" segment last week that many characterized as a clean-tech hit piece, arguing the program "grossly misrepresented the state of the sustainable energy sector."

The main thesis of the "Cleantech Crash" report was: "Despite billions in taxpayer dollars invested by the U.S. government in so-called ‘Cleantech’ energy alternatives to fossil fuels, Washington and Silicon Valley have little to show for it."
