Montanans have long benefited from an abundance of affordable, reliable electricity. That advantage has powered homes, supported manufacturers and agricultural producers, and helped make Montana an attractive place to live, work, and invest. Yet affordable electricity is not inevitable; it is the product of sound public policy, long-term infrastructure investment, and regulatory systems that encourage reliable energy development. As electricity demand accelerates across the West, maintaining Montana's competitive advantage will require continued investment in both energy production and the infrastructure needed to deliver it. The challenge is growing. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electricity demand is expected to increase substantially over the next decade as population growth, transportation and building electrification, domestic manufacturing, and artificial intelligence-driven data centers place unprecedented demands on the electric grid. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that electricity consumption from U.S. data centers alone could more than double by the end of the decade, making them one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand in the country. Meeting these needs will require not only additional generation but also modern transmission systems capable of delivering reliable power where and when it is needed. Montana is uniquely positioned to help meet that demand. The state's abundant natural resources, including hydropower, coal, natural gas, wind, solar, and emerging geothermal opportunities, provide a strong foundation for an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy. Rather than asking policymakers to choose one resource over another, Montana should continue encouraging investment across a diverse portfolio of energy sources. A balanced generation mix strengthens grid reliability, protects consumers from supply disruptions, and allows markets and technological innovation to determine which resources can most effectively meet future demand. But energy resources alone are not enough. Meeting the future energy needs requires a regulatory environment that provides certainty for investors and developers. Lengthy permitting timelines, inconsistent regulatory requirements, and delays in infrastructure approvals increase project costs and discourage private investment. Clear, predictable permitting processes do not eliminate environmental protections; instead, they provide greater certainty for businesses while allowing agencies to conduct thorough environmental reviews and make timely decisions. Regulatory certainty is one of the most important factors influencing whether new energy projects move from proposal to production. Transmission infrastructure will be equally important. Electricity has little value if it cannot reach the homes, businesses, and industries that depend on it. The Department of Energy has identified transmission expansion as one of the nation's most pressing infrastructure needs, particularly as western states experience growing electricity demand and increasingly interconnected energy markets. Regional initiatives such as the Western Transmission Expansion Coalition (WestTEC) and the Western Governors' Transmission Permitting Alignment and Coordination (PACT) Task Force recognize that modern transmission planning requires cooperation across state lines. Expanding transmission capacity can reduce congestion, improve grid reliability during periods of peak demand, and provide consumers access to the lowest-cost electricity available across the region. Environmental stewardship should remain an essential component of Montana's energy future. Thoughtful project siting, science-based environmental review, technological innovation, and continued improvements in generation efficiency can help reduce environmental impacts while expanding energy production. An all-of-the-above strategy acknowledges that hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, natural gas, and other reliable resources each have a role to play in building a resilient energy system. As Montana attracts new energy-intensive industries, policymakers must also ensure that growth does not shift infrastructure costs onto existing ratepayers. New investment creates jobs, expands the tax base, and strengthens local economies, but new customers should pay the costs associated with the generation and transmission infrastructure required to serve them. Doing so protects families and small businesses while preserving Montana's competitive business climate. Montana has already begun examining many of these long-term challenges through the Governor's Energy Task Force, which was established in 2025 to develop recommendations for expanding the state's supply of affordable, reliable, and dispatchable energy. The task force is organized into several working groups focused on key issues, including generation and markets, transmission and grid infrastructure, permitting and regulatory reform, and workforce and economic development. Members are evaluating how Montana can increase electricity generation from its diverse energy resources, improve transmission capacity to deliver power more efficiently, reduce unnecessary regulatory barriers that delay investment, and prepare for rising electricity demand from population growth, industrial expansion, and emerging technologies such as data centers. By bringing together key stakeholders, the task force is developing policies to improve grid reliability, encourage investment, and support Montana's long-term energy competitiveness. Affordable electricity does not happen by accident. It is the result of thoughtful planning, strategic investment, modern infrastructure, and policies that encourage innovation while protecting consumers. Montana has the resources, expertise, and opportunity to remain one of the nation's energy leaders. By expanding energy production, strengthening regional transmission, maintaining predictable regulatory processes, and ensuring that growth is managed responsibly, the state can continue providing reliable, affordable electricity that powers its economy and improves quality of life for generations to come.

When asked why he robbed banks after his capture in 1952, the notorious Willie Sutton is alleged to have said “that’s where the money is.” Despite voluminous research and analysis of America’s problems with illegal migration, Sutton’s famous quote is the best explanation why foreign nationals still try to break into the United States. The magnet that lures noncitizens to break our immigration laws isn’t just jobs, but also access to direct deposit, credit cards, and a bank account. The Trump administration’s May 2026 executive order drew a roadmap to restrict that system, and now it is being implemented. That’s good news for those weary of an immigration system that looks the other way at rampant lawlessness while ignoring policies that result in greater self-deportation. By directing regulators to treat lack of legal work authorization as a serious credit risk, the new debanking policy has the potential to be a self-deportation engine. It is low-cost and ruthlessly effective at drying up the shadow economy that attracts a seemingly infinite supply of border crossers. The rush of foreign nationals to cross our borders illegally is not primarily a humanitarian crisis at the border, but an economic phenomenon driven by jobs, wages, housing and financial services inside the United States. Migrants come because employers can hire them, pay them and integrate them into the economy. Access to bank accounts, direct deposit, credit cards, auto loans, and mortgages allow people here illegally to live better than they did in their homelands and to send remittances home. Remove or sharply restrict that access, and the decision to come here illegally is not the no-brainer it has been until now. The policy works through straightforward risk management already embedded in existing law. Under guidance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and banking regulators, lenders must assess a borrower’s ability to repay. When repayment depends on employment that can legally end at any moment through deportation or employer compliance with immigration law, that risk rises. Banks have every incentive to avoid losses. The administration has simply clarified that immigration status and work authorization are relevant data points in that analysis. This is not a blanket prohibition. It is targeted scrutiny that ties private-sector incentives with national interest. This strategy is practical because it leverages institutions that already exist and operate at scale. Banks already flag suspicious activity for anti-money laundering purposes. Adding immigration-related risk factors requires no new federal bureaucracy or army of agents. For those who claim to generally support deportations but get the ick from watching how ICE does it, the debanking plan achieves the same goals without the sometimes violent altercations. Physical removals are also expensive and require significant human resources. Self-deportation through economic pressure is cheaper and faster. More than 2 million illegally in the country have self-deported in the second Trump administration. Imagine how many more will opt out when privileges like banking, credit, and stable payroll become unreliable. The strategy also deters future illegal entries. Potential migrants must weigh the border crossing risks, employment prospects, and long-term viability. If the message is clear that the United States will no longer provide easy financial access in an increasingly cashless society for those here illegally, fewer will make the journey. This, in tandem with physical barriers, E-Verify expansion, and workplace enforcement, represents the smartest remedies for illegal mass migration in generations. Critics may claim this directive burdens families or disrupts communities. The reality is that being in America illegally itself creates those burdens via overcrowded schools, hospitals and housing markets, as well as wage competition for lower-skilled American workers. The policy does not target legal immigrants or citizens. It focuses solely on individuals who entered or remained in violation of U.S. law. The result will be safer, less crowded and more prosperous communities for those with the legal right to be here. Mass illegal migration cannot be solved by border enforcement alone. Pull factors in the interior of the country must be addressed. Jobs are the primary magnet, and access to banking and credit sustains that magnet. Cutting off or complicating that access is a direct response that requires neither new statutes nor unlimited enforcement budgets. It turns the financial sector’s natural caution into an ally of immigration enforcement. The United States has both the right and the responsibility to decide who may participate fully in its economy. The Trump administration’s debanking guidance is a practical innovation that strengthens deterrence, encourages self-deportation, protects American workers and taxpayers, and reinforces the rule of law. Other tools remain necessary, but this one deserves recognition as an efficient force multiplier in the effort to end the era of unchecked illegal mass migration.

Un estudio constata que la ralentización en la disminución de la capa de hielo invernal de la última década ha llegado a su fin y los autores advierten de que "las recuperaciones a corto plazo pueden ocultar temporalmente la tendencia a largo plazo"El equipo científico que intenta 'recongelar' el Ártico: “La idea parece una locura” La ‘ralentización’ en la disminución de la capa de hielo invernal del Ártico observada a principios de esta década ha llegado a su fin tras los mínimos históricos de 2025 y principios de 2026, según una investigación recogida en la revista Proceedings de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias americana. El estudio, dirigido por un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de Southampton, Reino Unido, en colaboración con el Centro Nacional de Oceanografía de ese país, incorpora las observaciones por satélite más recientes a las tendencias de la cobertura de hielo marino en el Ártico durante las fases de crecimiento invernal. Los investigadores habían visto en análisis previos que el ritmo de pérdida del hielo del Ártico se había atenuado durante los inviernos a principios de la década de 2020. Sin embargo, tras incorporar a los registros los inviernos excepcionalmente fríos de 2025 y 2026, descubrieron que las tendencias de los últimos 20 años habían vuelto a mostrar un descenso significativo de hielo invernal. “Esta fuerte caída modifica la forma en que interpretamos los cambios recientes en el hielo marino invernal del Ártico. Lo que parecía una pausa a principios de esta década ahora parece haber sido una ralentización temporal que se enmarca en un descenso a más largo plazo asociado al calentamiento global”, señala uno de los autores, Duo Chan, investigador de Ciencias Oceánicas en la Universidad de Southampton. Un indicador clave del cambio climático La extensión del hielo marino del Ártico está considerada un indicador clave del cambio climático. La capa de hielo invernal actúa como barrera entre el océano Ártico, relativamente cálido, y la atmósfera invernal, mucho más fría. La reducción del hielo durante los primeros meses del año hace que entre más calor y humedad del océano en la atmósfera, y ese proceso puede afectar a los patrones de circulación de las corrientes y de fenómenos meteorológicos como las tormentas, explican los autores. Entre 2024 y 2025, la extensión del hielo marino del Ártico durante la fase de máximo invernal, de febrero a marzo, se redujo en un 5,8 %, constituyendo la mayor caída interanual en esta estación registrada por los satélites desde que comenzaron los registros en 1978. En 2026, la extensión del hielo marino en la fase de máximo se recuperó ligeramente, pero siguió siendo la segunda más baja jamás registrada. Para analizar los resultados con mayor profundidad, el equipo contrastó lo observado por los satélites con eventos comparables simulados utilizando los modelos de cambio climático más recientes. “Al identificar estos eventos análogos, descubrimos que una caída tan brusca como la de 2025 era inusual, pero físicamente plausible en el contexto del actual calentamiento del Ártico”, apunta Alessandro Silvano, coautor del artículo y también investigador de la Universidad de Southampton, en un comunicado del centro. Las recuperaciones a corto plazo pueden ocultar temporalmente la tendencia a largo plazo del cambio en el hielo marino del Ártico Duo Chan — Investigador de la Universidad de Southampton El análisis de eventos comparables ha permitido a los investigadores anticipar lo que suele ocurrir tras una caída brusca del hielo marino invernal como la observada en 2025. “Es más probable que el hielo marino invernal del Ártico fluctúe en torno a un nivel más bajo durante los próximos años que lograr que se recuperen los niveles de principios de la década”, indica otro de los autores Simon Josey, investigador del Centro Nacional de Oceanografía británico. “Las recuperaciones a corto plazo pueden ocultar temporalmente la tendencia a largo plazo del cambio en el hielo marino del Ártico. Las bajas extensiones de los primeros meses de 2025 y 2026 muestran claramente que la pérdida de hielo en el Ártico no se ha detenido, sino que continúa en un clima cada vez más cálido”, concluye Chan.
