Believing that almost no other state can match Montana’s potential in renewable energy, Jon has worked to put Montanans at the front line of securing America’s energy future.

As a third-generation family farmer, Jon knows first hand that climate change is real, and that American reliance on oil from foreign countries is a threat both to our national security and to American jobs.

Jon believes Montana’s businesses can create good-paying jobs and lead the nation in energy production – especially wind, solar, and geothermal energy production.

Jon also strongly supports research and development to expand our renewable energy options and break our dependence on foreign oil.

Jon believes in a multi-pronged approach to American energy independence, including:

• Investing in home-grown renewable energy jobs (generating biofuels, biomass, wind, solar, and geothermal energies)
• Drilling for oil where it makes sense at home (like in eastern Montana’s Bakken formation which holds 4 billion barrels of oil), while protecting Montana’s most prized outdoor areas, like the North Fork of the Flathead
