I just read your two and one half page article by Eric Dietrich of the Montana Free Press in the Dec. 25 issue of The Monitor. In my opinion, it is an editorial masquerading as a news story.
Dietrich was reporting on an attempt by 40 climate activists to bully the PSC and NorthWestern Energy into putting our electrical supply at risk. He whines that the five member PSC has five Republicans. I believe we elect the PSC members and it appears we have rejected Democrats for that board. He also claims that at least one of these Republicans is a climate change skeptic.
He also cites a NASA report that 97% of active climate scientists claim that global warming is a scientific fact. He fails to point out that NASA thought locking three of its employees in box containing lots of combustible materials with no access to fire suppression equipment and filling the box with 100% oxygen was a good idea. The same NASA that thought O-rings stayed pliable enough when the temperature drops to still make a good seal. Need I continue?
