In the summer of 2007, I rode my bike across Montana looking at the state's energy infrastructure and sources - oil, coal, wind, solar, geothermal, efficiency, etc. It would be great if Climate Ride did something similar - swinging us past coal fired power plants, wind installations, organic farms, green buildings - so riders can see the problems and solutions as we ride. You can't fully comprehend an oil refinery or coal plant until you personally see it and feel it. When we stopped at a coal power plant in Billings, for example, a fresh layer of coal ash accumulated on our bike seats as we toured the facility.
