In this episode of Dam!, we catch up with Katie Pfennigs, the manager of community relations at Flathead Electric Cooperative. She provides us with a Western Montana perspective on hydropower and the challenges of electric utilities in the Rocky Mountain region of the country. We also explore the fundamental value of communications, policy and government affairs work, Montana's housing crisis, freezing your face off, damaged line trucks in the height of the rut, and advocating on behalf of hydropower.
