  • As electricity demand surges, driven in large part by AI data centers, the need for affordable, reliable, and truly clean energy solutions is more urgent than ever.

  • NorthWestern Energy CEO Brian Bird could make "as much as $16 million" in bonuses if this merger goes through... and guess who will be paying for it? (It's us, the captive ratepayers.)

We can't afford to pay Brian Bird's bonus. Check the comments for action links 👇 https://dailymontanan.com/2026/05/12/businesses-urge-power-mer

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
