- Wyoming is progressing with wind energy initiatives, including a major wind farm being built near Rawlins that is expected to become the largest in the United States by 2025.
- This progress follows strong public support despite Wyoming state senator Larry Hicks' failed proposal for a five-year moratorium on renewable projects.
- The state's wind potential, ranked second windiest after Nebraska, has attracted $10 billion in wind power investments amid ongoing policy debates and a House bill removing renewable subsidies.

- The developments in Wyoming illustrate a complex balance as conservative areas invest in green energy despite political efforts to limit carbon reduction and renewable incentives.
