Most grocery stores blend into the background of daily life, but every so often, you stumble across one that people genuinely talk about with real enthusiasm.

Missoula, Bozeman leaders back new Montana green power plan
GREAT FALLS, Mont. — NorthWestern Energy, the City of Missoula, Missoula County and the City of Bozeman announced a joint filing on Tuesday, asking the Montana Public Service Commission to approve their proposed Green Power Program . The proposal would enable communities and businesses to support the development of a new renewable energy resource in Montana, while providing residential customers with a voluntary method to support these priorities. The filing laid out the program structure, including who could take part, how subscriptions and cost recovery would work, what customer protections would apply and how the program would be managed. It also stated that non-participating customers would not pay program costs. According to NorthWestern Energy, the application included a proposed tariff, subscription agreements and customer forms.
