Called baker, montana. Its not just about canadian oil coming to the u. S. Its about north dakota and montana oil. Second, as i was traveling one day to a rural coop in glasgow, montana, there in my pickup, i show up in my jeans and my jacket, they told me that the Keystone Pipelines approved electric rates for their coop payers folk who is dont have a lot of money, thousands of montana families in eastern part of our state their rates will remain flat for the next ten years because of the Keystone Pipeline . Why is that . Because they will supply electricity to the pump stations in the pipeline.
