The Old West Regional Commission is a pioneering entity dedicated to the economic and environmental analysis of the American West, with a focus on resource management and sustainable development in the post-industrial era. Established to address the unique challenges of western states, the Commission has produced influential reports that blend rigorous data analysis with forward-looking policy recommendations. Their seminal work, 'Energy consumption in Montana : projections to 1990 : final report to the Old West Regional Commission,' exemplifies their commitment to understanding energy dynamics and informing regional planning. Through collaborative research involving economists, scientists, and policymakers, the Commission continues to shape discussions on energy efficiency, natural resource conservation, and economic growth in the Old West, providing essential insights for stakeholders across Montana and beyond.
