Energy development
  • In 2010, Schweitzer supported "leasing of state-owned lands in southeast Montana for coal mining," according to The New York Times.[2]
Climate change
  • On November 19, 2007, Brian Schweitzer announced that Montana would become part of the Western Climate Initiative (WCI), "a joint effort to reduce regional greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change. ...Under the agreement, by 2008 the member states and provinces will establish a cap-and-trade system to aid in meeting their regional greenhouse gas emissions target of 15% below 2005 levels by 2020. The participants will also set up an emissions registry and tracking system," according to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions.[3]
  • In 2011, Montana, along with five other states, left the WCI and joined North America 2050, a "Regional Plan Association's national infrastructure planning and policy program, providing leadership on a broad range of transportation, sustainability, and economic-development issues impacting America's growth in the 21st century."[4][5]
