Wyoming has long been an energy leader, and its strong wind resources position it well to meet the nation’s growing electricity demand. While Wyoming’s energy future will likely include a mix of resources, including traditional fuels and emerging technologies, cost-competitive renewables can help:

* Keep electricity prices more affordable
* Meet growing energy demand
* Diversify Wyoming’s energy portfolio
* Support continued investment in energy infrastructure

Wyoming is an energy leader. For many decades, we have powered the nation and fueled innovation and that leadership has made the Cowboy State a place that has embraced all available energy resources.

Wind development has recently come under attack, and while robust discussion is always an essential part of the democratic process, we must base our arguments on facts, not fiction.

The spread of misinformation is a “false flag” designed to make you think that elected officials are shirking their responsibilities when it comes to development around renewable projects. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Every project, whether in southeast Wyoming or elsewhere in the state, goes through a thorough Industrial Siting process that is among the most rigorous in the country. Developers are required to complete extensive social, economic, and environmental studies, often resulting in applications that run thousands of pages. They must coordinate with 19 state agencies, including the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, before the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council even considers a project.

These are not rushed approvals. They are deliberate, transparent, and built to ensure impacts are fully understood and addressed.

"Dear editor: We make our living on land that our families have worked for generations here in the Cowboy State. Ranchers who voluntarily participate in energy development are not undermining Wyoming values. They are exercising them." https://t.co/r17c1c8LEI

Did you know ALL the electricity that is made in Wyoming – whether it comes from our legacy fuels like coal, or resources such as wind and solar – feeds into the same grid.

No one benefits when we are divided. Energy shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

We are in a race with China, one that reaches far beyond trade or technology. It is a contest for energy leadership, national security, and economic strength. The pace of this competition is quickening, and it will determine who sets the global standards for power generation, data control, and strategic influence in the decades to come. https://t.co/8L8hoE33e2

To protect America’s future, we must embrace all avaliable resources.

Wyoming proves that energy diversity fuels independence, and independence fuels security.

Let’s power forward together.

Some Facebook comments are worth reading. The state of Wyoming relies on taxes received from companies and industries to pay for many of the services we receive.

Renewables complement, rather than replace, Wyoming’s legacy industries. Coal, oil, and gas remain the backbone of our economy. At the same time, next-generation nuclear and hydrogen advances are expanding the energy portfolio. Wind and solar balance this mix, ensuring Wyoming remains a leader in delivering affordable, reliable power to the nation.

Wyoming legislator JD Williams urges leaving politics aside when it comes to energy. He notes he’s not here to change minds—just to share a few facts worth considering:

“While we squabble over what color our electrons are..we are losing the electricity generation race that the success of our industries and the security of our economy depend on.”

Key points he highlights:

1. Demand is outpacing supply – U.S. electricity demand is rising faster than we can provide it.

2. This is expansion, not transition – We’re not phasing out; we’re building more of everything.

3. Every energy source has risks – All forms come with challenges, but all are manageable.

4. Energy security = national security – A stable, reliable grid underpins economic strength and national defense.

"From where he sits, he can see cell towers, oil rigs, energy transmission lines and defunct missile silos. Norfleet can even make out steam from a nearby power plant sometimes in the mornings.

These structures don’t bother him to look at, he tells Cowboy State Daily while delivering a tank of fresh water to his hundreds of sheep. To him, they’re just part of the rural Wyoming landscape."

The combined power generation/transmission sector, including wind power, was the top industrial non-mineral property taxpayer in Carbon County, representing over $119.4M in total assessed valuation, acc to 2024 DOR Annual Report. #WindWorksForWyoming

Wind energy in Wyoming is not just about generating electricity. It is about delivering on promises made to the people who live here. Each project contributes tax revenue that supports county budgets, school districts, law enforcement and fire protection.
