This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with the CEO of Energy Keepers and Tribal Member, Brian Lipscomb. Energy Keepers, Inc owns and operates the dam and hydroelectric project on Flathead Lake. You'll be very surprised by what you learn when you listen this podcast! Energy Keepers is the first tribally owned company to own and operate a major hydroelectric facility in the United States and list goes on from there. There is ton fascinating information you will learn, including answers to questions that a bunch of you asked when you emailed Rigger. For example, you will learn why Flathead Lake stayed so full much longer this year than it usually does. You'll learn why Brian said, “I’m starting to feel like a broken record, because every time I go talk to somebody, I say, “we just dealt with something we have never seen in our lifetimes!”
