The Schweitzer administration is supporting a new bill to lay down the rules on storing carbon dioxide underground in Montana and legislative Republicans are preparing their own approach as well.
The two bills, yet to be introduced, have emerged in the wake of Gov. Brian Schweitzers call last week during his State of the State address to tackle the issue, saying its vital for coal development in the state.

And storage of CO2 wont happen without a legal framework that spells out who owns the underground
