Governors demand more action for environment

The Arizona Republic

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Governors of the Rocky Mountain states vented frustration Sunday at an administration and a Congress that they say have done little to combat global warming and develop cleaner energy sources.

"There's a lot of talk in Washington, D.C. I'd sum it up as about zero action," said Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer. He and Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal, both Democrats, took turns bashing federal inaction during a meeting Sunday of the National Governors Association.

Their aim is as much economic as environmental. That's because the West has huge coal resources, which the two men say can be converted into liquid fuel and diesel with new and emerging tech- niques.
