Gianforte Statement on Colstrip Closures

Statement

By: Greg Gianforte

Date: June 11, 2019

Issues: Energy

Congressman Greg Gianforte released the following statement after Talen Energy announced it would close Colstrip Units 1 and 2 at the end of 2019:

"Colstrip has long provided affordable, reliable electricity to Montanans, but the war on coal has jeopardized Colstrip and good-paying jobs for hardworking Montanans. I'll continue working to keep Units 3 and 4 operating, protect Colstrip and Montana jobs, and provide affordable electricity to all Montanans."
