Outside our cites are 100's of wind mills churning out electricity for California. Yep you got it. California came all the way to Wyoming to make their clean energy. So in the meantime California is buying up huge amounts of land and dotting the landscape with windmills. This state is very conservative yet we have a democratic governor whom we all like. Politics in this state are relatively modest and respectful and in my opinion the entire nation could learn a thing or two by coming to Wyoming walking the streets and visiting with the folks. My wife is going to college at University of Wyoming. In her culture class she has several of the football players. One night she overheard them talking to each other. One black player from the Queens said I cant wait to get back to New York. The other player also black said Ive been here 3 years and I love this state. You wont find a more generous, honest, helpful and friendly bunch of people anywhere in this country. Not only can we balance our budget. Even New Yorkers and Californians love us. What a place.

This article is yet another great example of how delusional the liberals are ~ like a good ostrich, they willfully ignore the obvious in favor of fear-mongering phantoms. Go, Wyoming!

It is just another way for Mr. Obama to get his hands on more of taxpayer's money. If Mr. Obama were sincere about developing clean energy and reducing dependence on foreign oil he would encourage the development of more nuclear pwwer plants around the U.S. Nuclear power is safe, efficient and dependable, but he has surrendered to the environmentalist wackos in his party, so nuclear power plants are out. These same environmentalists in his party have convinced him to do nothing and watch as the San Joaquin Valley farms in California turn into a vast Oklahoma dust bowl. And why? To prevent the extinction of the Delta Smelt, a two-inch fish. Water that could revitalize the farms of the Sam Joaquin Valley are being channeled into the Pacific Ocean while family farms of four generations are being lost, just like the jobs of 40,000 people. Farmers that once fed one-third of the country are now standing in food lines, waiting for handouts to feed their own families. Something is terribly wrong with our President's sense of priorities.

Those that do have to contend with sand, and extreme heat. I've seen Wyomings Wind Mills and I've seen our own in Oregon. Theirs are alwas turning, ours seldom turn at the same time. Wind Power for all is no more an answer than Solar power for all. Lots of States do not have that much sunlight years around. Besides, the Global warming issue is a joke, so let us utilize our coal, turned into coke, drill our own oil, which is NOT a fossil fuel, and build some more damn refineries. Everytime two refineries go down here in America, the price of gas at the pump goes up a nickle! Wyoming also has a study source of trade winds along a flat plain. Many other States do not.
