Montana Has Nearly The Most Expensive Energy Costs In The Nation

I'm not going to lie; when I first learned that Montana has some of the highest energy costs in the nation, I was a bit irritated.

After all, Montana is home to some of the richest natural resources in the nation, yet here we are paying some of the highest prices for our energy.

Is it just me, or does it not add up?
