This course takes place on a bicycle tour of Montana, beginning in the ranchlands and coalfields near Billings, through various energy production facilities on the central plains, to the center of energy policy debates at the state capitol in Helena, and finally over the Divide to Glacier National Park. Students on this course will explore the ecological, social, and economic issues associated with energy production and use, and global climate change. We will traverse rolling plains and beautiful mountains, enjoying the changing landscapes and meeting with people deeply involved in energy and climate issues. Traveling by bicycle will give us a unique perspective and an appropriate pace for examining the past, present and future of energy and climate change in the West.
