Our system of developing and furthering knowledge is no longer stable | Tom Woods
History tells us that at one time, China was becoming a great naval power. The Ming dynasty developed their naval technology to a point that they were able to send heavily armed convoys as far away as the Arabian peninsula and East Africa.During that time, independent kingdoms were brought under Chinese control, but then the expansion stopped. Confronted by conflict between political factions within the Chinese empire, the emperor chose to focus only on domestic issues.
Tom Woods: PG&E’s vast shortcomings
| For the third time in one week the power is out in Rough and Ready. I contacted the linemen, and they shared that the circuits are set on “sensitive” to anything touching wires.
Guest view: If healthcare pricing system works, why not apply it more widely?
Guest view: If healthcare pricing system works, why not apply it more widely? Unlike many other bills being excreted by the Legislature these days, Senate Bill 110 is very subtle in the way it reveals the dysfunction in our Legislature. This bill directs the university system to stop payments to its employee health care plan for two-month periods when the health insurance program is running a surplus (like it is now).
The four factions
by Tom Woods | January 10, 2021 12:00 AM I’ve had the honor of serving the past four terms in the Legislature. It’s now possible that everything that I worked to pass over four terms is now about to be undone; Medicaid expansion, human rights, water rights, reproductive rights, fair elections. This threat is real, but I have hope that the adults in the room may keep the ship of state off the rocks. Here’s why.

Guest view: NorthWestern should cancel recent rate increase
Guest view: NorthWestern should cancel recent rate increase As a state legislator, I’ve been saying for years that NorthWestern Energy has been gaming the system and that the Public Service Commission has allowed that to happen. We now find ourselves in a situation where profits for NorthWestern Energy have been steadily increasing with 2019 setting a new record for the company. We simply can’t afford for this to continue.
NorthWestern Energy back at the ratepayer trough
In 2008, NorthWestern Energy purchased 30 percent of the Colstrip coal-fired power plants and terribly over-charged Montana ratepayers as part of the deal -- all with the blessing of the Montana Public Service Commissioners at that time. Now, in 2020, the leadership of NorthWestern energy is back at the ratepayer trough – asking the Montana PSC to approve the Company’s purchase of the last two coal-fired power plants left in Colstrip for $1.

Comment: It doesn’t make sense to build fire hall at new Esquimalt Town Square
I am an Esquimalt taxpayer with some experience in protective services. I understand Esquimalt is going ahead with a new seismically sound public safety building to be located near the existing hall in the new Town Square, which is approximately 500 metres from the massive new Department of National Defence fire hall on Esquimalt Road.
Guest opinion: Let's pay attention to our Colstrip costs
The coal-fired generating facility at Colstrip has been in the news over the last year. Brace yourself, because it’s going to be in the news again very soon and it may cost you a lot of money. Here’s why. The Colstrip facility consists of four generating plants owned by six different companies. The oldest two of these four plants are going to be retired this January and most of the corporate partners who own Units 3 and 4 want to get out of Colstrip because they want to get off a sinking ship.
Guest opinion: Beware of NorthWestern Energy legislation
As one of your state representatives, I need to let you know about dangerous legislation making its way through the state Capitol. SB331 will allow Northwestern Energy to make a bad deal and then stick it to the ratepayers for hundreds of millions of dollars. What really sets my hair on fire with the situation is that this isn’t the first time Northwestern Energy has bilked ratepayers through a lousy deal. It’s not even their first bad deal over Colstrip! There’s a history of this behavior.
Products: Homes, Log

Guest opinion: Stop NWE from 'double dipping' on costs
Every year, NorthWestern Energy customers pay millions of dollars for power generated by the power plants the company owns. The company then uses that money to repay shareholders who put up the capital to buy or build those plants. If the relationship between NorthWestern and its customers was that simple, there would not be a problem. Normal business relationships are something we can all be happy with.
Guest opinion: House rule changes would boost speaker's power
BOZEMAN — The new speaker of the Montana House recently proposed, then rescinded, a dress code he was trying to impose on the Legislature. While there was a great deal of negative press regarding this issue, there are other, more dangerous rules that are being forced upon the legislature by a minority within the GOP leadership. These rules range from being simply insulting to Democrats to being extremely dangerous to the legislative process. The following are a few of them.
