The #nuclear industry has a history of over-promising and under-delivering. Our Director of Resource Planning Analysis speaks on this track record as it relates to small modular nuclear reactors (#SMRs) in our latest YouTube video. Watch it here: hubs.ly/Q02N_8Kt0

Wyoming electric utility regulators violated state law by approving a plan to decrease compensation for rooftop solar customers supplying excess power back into the system. The issue may come before the Legislature. @DBleizeffer reports 👇 Full story ➡️ bit.ly/3ZeIayn

This is big news. And it matters for #Wyoming because offshore Pacific Northwest wind will be more #renewableenergy that could displace #coal power in the Western U.S. #energytransition #itswindy #windpower

The destructive fires could have grave consequences for wildlife, including the burning of "best of the best" habitat for the already imperiled sage grouse. But biologists see possible benefits for other wildlife. wyofile.com/wildfires-blacke…

Why not Wyo?: Major corporate moves among Wyoming's top #thermalcoal producers @peabodyenergy and Arch Resources portend a greater focus on non-Wyoming metallurgic coal, but could stabilize what's left of the Powder River Basin coal market. - @WyoFile wyofile.com/wyoming-coal-hea…

The Powder River Basin is on fire right now. Our hearts go out to everyone dealing with burned fields & displaced (or worse) livestock. Thank you to our first responders. We are holding you in the light, and hoping the rains (without lightning) come soon to provide some relief.

The @NRCgov has posted my scoping comments on the environmental impact statement for the TerraPower Kemmerer-1 fast #nuclear reactor construction permit in #Wyoming. The company's own environmental report downplays the consequences of severe accidents. nrc.gov/docs/ML2422/ML24226A…

A big facility for recycling lithium-ion batteries is now online in Ohio, making it the first project to hit the ribbon-cutting stage after receiving BIL funding. @cirba_solutions says its plant can recycle enough material for 250,000 new EV batteries/year canarymedia.com/articles/cle…

Do newsrooms need a public lands 101 refresher? A state can't have "its" federal land — federal land, by definition, ≠ state land
