My first NPR feature! And my all time career role model @NPRkelly read the intro!
It's a heavy story, but it includes voices from some of the most salt of the earth, heart of gold people I've ever met.

Cows got anthrax? Their insides might look: "Bloody, black, weird. It had this, I described it as like bloody tapioca pudding."
Listen along for a story of rare disease meets ranchers meets public health meets gov't mistrust...

Big weekend for Daniel, WY, pop. 108

[Wyoming Public Radio @WYPublicRadio]

For weeks, wolf advocates planned to drive through Daniel, WY to raise awareness after the infamous wolf incident. When the day came, a throng of locals came out and a handful of out-of-state advocates. @miss_ctan reports it was peaceful, but tense.

really succinct summary from @DBleizeffer

[WyoFile @WyoFile]

Wyoming #coal production is down 20% while utility stockpiles remain flush following a mild winter and competition from renewables and natural gas. The situation could lead to layoffs and mine closures.

The year was 1949. Some skiers and cowboys were at a bar in Leadville, Colorado. Naturally, the conversation went to ‘who’s fastest?’ The cowboys pulled the skiers on their horses down Main Street, and that’s how what we know today as ‘skijoring’ began. https://t.co/oi9Nb2ne4B

A group known for promoting misleading information about #climatechange won the attention — and hearts — of many Wyoming lawmakers this week. #WyLeg https://t.co/7IDJZAa8WM

I wrote about a Wyoming-imposed mandate to retrofit existing coal-fired power plants in the state with #CCUS. So far captive ratepayers are subsidizing initial engineering & cost analysis to the tune of $3M, while actual construction could cost billions. @WyoFile @Report4America

@DBleizeffer thanks for sharing Dustin!

[Bob Beck @butterbob]

I’m getting lots of weather warnings and angst about 40-45 mph wind gusts this week. In Wyoming we called that March.

Wyoming water law expert Anne MacKinnon says climate change and an oil refinery's move to secure water in dry years will test state water law. #ClimateCrisis #Climateandwater https://t.co/AV11wrynB7

[Dustin Bleizeffer @DBleizeffer]

The cold snap that sent demand and prices soaring for #naturalgas this past winter sapped ratepayers, but also boosted Wyoming's revenue outlook by 11%. @WyoFile @Report4America https://t.co/wfUgI4B4wO
