North Dakota energy and government leaders talk about their role surrounding climate change

(Bismarck, ND) -- North Dakota government and energy leaders are discussing issues facing the energy industry.  

Hundreds of leaders gathered at Bismarck State College yesterday with climate change at the main topic. Lieutenant Governor Brent Sanford told the group that the energy sector needs to get its story out about its solutions for climate change and inflation. The group also discussed solutions related to reducing carbon emissions, such as carbon capture.

Some environmental groups oppose the proposed carbon capture programs, saying the practice would keep the fossil fuel industries in place and continue to produce emissions.
