A few years back, my old CIA buddy and I were on one of our photo safaris and we stopped for the night in Gillette. Where we went to dinner that night we could see the main rail-line through town. In the course of about an hour we saw three 'unit trains' (only has one type of car) of coal that must have been over 100 cars (we counted the first one and it was 106 care and the others were about the same) pass through.

If they had listened to Hillary in 2016, they’d be ahead of the game today rather than twisting in the winds. She told them truth. They didn’t want it, and said she didn’t care. She did, but couldn’t LIE, like Trump took who them for a ride.

Quote:

“ Wyoming, meanwhile, also has some of the nation's greatest potential for wind energy, according to the American Clean Power Association, an industry group. PacifiCorp, the massive power company that is retiring some of its coal power plants in Wyoming, recently opened a large wind farm -- 520 megawatts, enough to power about 150,000 homes, according to Laine Anderson, the company's director of wind operations -- about an hour-and-a-half drive south of Gillette.
Yet, Wyoming is a rare state that also taxes wind power -- rather than incentivizing its production as a much-needed clean energy source.”

Guess what kind of politicians came up with that......and WHY!
