What's it like living in a #coal town? We asked residents of #Colstrip that very question. Their answers might surprise you! #mtpol #mtnews

It's official! #Montana and #Wyoming are taking the state of Washington to the Supreme court over their actions blocking our states ability to ship our #coal to eager buyers overseas. Thank you @AGTimFox for pressing this issue! ✊🔥

Units 1 & 2 of the power plant have been shut down, but don't worry; The hardworking folks at Colstrip are still running units 3 & 4 to help make sure that blackouts wont ruin your day! 💪😁💡

In this guest opinion piece, local legislators from the #Colstrip area separate fact from fiction regarding the ash pond remediation process and cost at the Colstrip Power plant.

Why does #mining matter to #Montana #farmers? 🤔🤷‍♀️

"From the fuel that goes into our combines, to the micronutrient spray that goes onto our #crops, it ALL comes from the #earth."

The average wage in #MT is about $42,000 per year. The #jobs at #Colstrip pay an average wage of around $85,000 per year. At double the state average, these high paying jobs cannot be easily replaced in Southeastern #Montana. 👷‍♀️👷🏽‍♂️

See that image on the top right? That is what modern coal mines in Montana look like when they've been reclaimed. It's just another reason why we are proud to support Montana's coal industry.

@ColstripUnited @PatriciaHammes2 I went to Montana as the logistics manager for Stillwater in 2000! Western states have enormous wealth in natural resources, to grow these resources have be utilized! Industrial jobs, not tourist jobs! These jobs include healthcare! @SecretaryZinke @SecretarySonny @WhiteHouse

One of our core goals is to help more people understand that coal #Mining & #coal power generation are being done better and more responsibly than ever before.

#Colstrip is a coal town. It is OUR coal town. If we are going down, it won't be without a fight. ✊🔥

@GundersonMTHD1 Agreed!!

[Colstrip United @ColstripUnited]

The MEIC's disapproval of this study actually gives it more credibility in the eyes of the rest of #Montana. It's no surprise that the enemies of #Colstrip don't want the potential consequences of their anti-coal efforts to be highlighted.

@GundersonMTHD1 Units 3 & 4 are not scheduled for shutdown, but this study highlights the reasons why the state of #Montana should fight with everything it's got to keep them running well into the future.

NEW STUDY: BBER estimates that Montana’s special taxes on energy & natural resources make the tax impact of Colstrip & the mine’s early closure at least a third larger than they would be on a non-energy related business.

The Rosebud Mine at #Colstrip, MT has officially been operating for 50 years! 50 years of mining #coal, providing good paying jobs, and much needed tax revenue. In a nutshell, the Rosebud Mine has spent 50 years making #Montana a better place! :)
