HELENA - Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who's been the subject of several stories in national press outlets, will be profiled by the CBS news-magazine show "60 Minutes,” his office confirmed Friday.
Crews from "60 Minutes,” including longtime CBS newswoman Lesley Stahl, were in the state filming last weekend. They interviewed Schweitzer at a Helena-area ranch and at the state Capitol, said Schweitzer spokeswoman Sarah Elliott.
Elliott said "60 Minutes” is doing a profile piece on Schweitzer and that much of its time in Montana was spent focusing on energy issues and Schweitzer's interest in promoting the conversion of coal into diesel fuel.
Since last summer, Schweitzer has been talking about using Montana coal as part of a project to manufacture liquid fuels, to increase domestic fuel production.
CBS crews went with the governor last Monday to Colstrip, the site of a major coal mine and coal-fired power plants, Elliott said.

Mr. Maedje:
Your grip on reality appears quite infirm.
I guess in your mind that Governor Schweitzer's current enormous approval rating in Montana is to be ignored.
The support Schweitzer has from a majority of Montanans just doesn't equate with your derogatory term for him.
Unless you believe that the vast majority of Montanans support buffoons. Care to lead with that at the top of your next political platform?
We're waiting for your answer...your silence is deafening.
I also imagine you will be 'going to the wall' to support soon-to-be ex-Senator Conrad Burns. What was it that Connie promised? Was it two terms and he would step down? Guess he hasn't gotten enough Abramoff 'funding' at that point and needs to remain in D.C. to 'represent' Montana so well.
The sewers on Capitol Hill and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue have backed up and are overflowing--Burnsie is a leading contributor to this filth.
And how many of your so-called 'serious' federally elected officials, those who receive your devout admiration because they are SO adept at solving the myriad of problems ordinary citizens face in this country (see Iraq, see MediCare, see national debt, see healthcare funding for veterans, see home heating costs, et al) are going down? Sure hope your Republican buddies look good in stripes.
Mr. Maedje, your diatribe against Brian Schweitzer is unbecoming and unsubstantiated.
Go ahead, continue to use unattributed 'bad-mouthings' of Governor Schweitzer. We wouldn't expect anything different from you. Keeping at that level, it's probably time for you and yours to attack the Governor's dog again.
Governor Schweitzer is doing just fine. If you can't handle or admit that then jump into the race for governor in a few years.
After all, even you should be able to receive a unanimous vote if your opponent is a buffoon, right?
