Click on the podcast as Voices of Montana examines two closely connected energy issues facing the state. Attorney Monica Tranel joins the program to discuss the NorthWestern Energy–Black Hills merger and the questions it raises for utility consumers and regulators. Tranel then joins Montana Tech Lance Energy Chair Bob Morris to discuss the rapidly growing data center debate, including electricity demand, water use, grid infrastructure, jobs and potential economic benefits. The discussion looks beyond competing claims to ask what Montana communities and regulators should know before making decisions about new large-scale energy users.
