Missoulian: Judge orders reconsideration of prairie dog ruling
WHITE-TAILED PRAIRIE DOG
“The white-tailed prairie dog is approximately 13 to 15 inches long and weighs around one to three pounds.  It is a small, stout rodent with a short, white-tipped tail, large eyes, a blackish brown cheek patch above and below each eye, and a tan-brown pelt.  The so-called prairie dog was named for its barking call.  All five species of prairie dogs live in colonies.  White-tailed prairie dogs have a looser social structure and occur at a lower density then black-tailed prairie dogs.”

Missoulian: Colstrip residents pessimistic about impacts of EPA's greenhouse gas rules
Clean Power Plan Proposed Rule
“On June 2, 2014, EPA proposed a commonsense plan to cut carbon pollution from power plants. States, cities and businesses across the country are already taking action to address the risks of climate change. EPA's proposal builds on those actions and is flexible - reflecting that different states have a different mix of sources and opportunities, and reflecting the important role of states as full partners with the federal government in cutting pollution. This proposal will maintain an affordable, reliable energy system, while cutting pollution and protecting our health and environment now and for future generations.”
