(Colstrip, MT) — Montana Governor Greg Gianforte is calling out President Biden for what he described as a “war on coal.” Gianforte was at the Rosebud mine in Colstrip Tuesday for a roundtable talk with Senator Steve Daines and state energy representatives. The group claimed Biden refuses to “address the affordability crisis he’s created” and said coal helps keep the lights on in the Treasure State. They added Biden’s “war” is driving up energy costs, destroying jobs, and “threatens the reliability” of Montana’s electrical grid. The meeting comes after the Biden administration moved to prevent future coal leases in eastern Montana through 2038.
