HELENA - Supporters of the climate bill in Congress are releasing a report that says the measure would create more jobs in Montana.

A report done by university researchers says that Montana stands to gain 13,000 jobs by 2020. The authors cite Montana's significant untapped renewable energy resources, particularly in wind power and biofuels.

The report says the measure would create jobs around the country.

Opponents, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, argue the bill would increase energy costs and hurt the economy.

The Democratic bill calls for cutting greenhouse gases from power plants and large industrial facilities by shifting energy use away from fossil fuels, especially coal. It would cap emissions and allow trading of pollution allowances to mitigate the cost.
