Representative Debo Powers lives off the electric grid in a solar-powered cabin across the North Fork of the Flathead River from Glacier National Park in grizzly bear country. She has a garden and greenhouse and stores food in a root cellar. In addition, she heats with wood and cross-country skis every day during the winter. In the summer, she hikes on remote trails, mountain bikes, and floats the river when she isn’t staffing a fire lookout. She is a Montanan through and through.
