Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, the newly elected leader of the Western Governor’s Association, is pushing other Western Governors at the annual meeting in Wyoming to collectively come up with a national energy initiative to guide the next president’s policy.
The group will work over the next 12 months to come up with a plan, which governors have said the federal government has been sorely in need of, that addresses climate change and energy independence.
The timing is good, Huntsman said, and that means this time, the new administration might listen to what Western governors have to say. He tells the Deseret News that be it McCain or Obama, the next president is going to need to take advice from what Huntsman calls “the most energy relevant region.”
