greenhouse-gas emissions are growing worldwide. Yet many scientists
say deep emissions cuts are necessary Š to prevent Š dangerous
consequences of global warming. Getting from here to there would
require a massive economic shift."</font></div>

<div><font face="Geneva">The expected "massive economic shift"
was always going to be disruptive. Montana has seen many such
disruptions, such as when a massive economic shift into railroad
building put the stagecoach business out of business.</font></div>
<div><font face="Geneva"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Geneva">A massive economic shift in energy is now
underway, and poses a disruptive threat to the future of large,
centralized, fossil fuel burning utilities -- including Northwestern
Energy.</font></div>

campaign against technology that would put them out of work. Now,
solar and wind technologies threaten to put centralized utilities out
of work or at least compete for economic gains. So, do the centralized
utilities become the "New Luddites" in their efforts to
thwart rooftop solar?.</font></div>
