Some legislators officially ask Wyoming governor to put fossil fuels over wind and solar energy. But a senator said this was already happening.
During the meeting of the Committee on Senate Corporations, Elections and Political Units, Senator Bill Landon did not say words.
“I know that every day this governor does exactly what is already indicated in this resolution,” Landon saidS
Sj04A resolution for the production of electricity of commercial base loads, asks the governor, “opposes the future promotion and subsidization of commercial wind and solar energy production in Wyoming and encourages the efforts that provide the stable basic energy of Wyoming for all Uyoming citizens.”
This means prioritizing energy sources such as coal, natural gas, uranium and hydroelectric – not wind and solar energy. Some supporters do not want taxpayers’ money to go to the last, which Landon said he sympathized with.
“I get some acids when I drive to Shirley’s pool and I see all those windmills and they block my view of Mount Elk. I’m not doing carts for that, “he said. “But I also feel like the governor, which is that Wyoming would be better positioned to produce any electrons that we can in a good responsible way.”
Currently “of Wyoming”all the above energy strategy“It aims to reduce emissions by finding more clean ways to produce fossil fuels and also to use renewable energy sources. Governor Mark Gordon pushed this initiative as a way of dealing with climate change while maintaining Wyoming as “the energy state.
“I I guess I have to defend the governor a little, “Landon said.
Legislators in accordance with the far right cause of freedom have called the Governor for recognition of climate changeS Some have signed this resolution. The official sponsor, Senator Laura Laura Pearson, said she was leading the effort because she had heard from the voters that they did not support the sun and the wind.
“If you look at any publications in new solar farms or the construction of wind power plants, the bigger part of the public are against it,” Pearson told legislators.
However, Pew Research shows that about two -thirds of the Americans support a priority for renewable energy sources.
Pearson also said he did not think solar energy is an effective form of energy.
“We live in one of the most cold countries, much of the year is not much sun,” she said.
However, City of Cheyenne Touts Nearly 250 days of sunny days a year. On the other side of the state, Evanston It boasts 300 days of sun.
The legislators eventually adopted the resolution from the committee 4 to 1. Landon stood alone in his voice “It”. Now he goes to the Senate floor.
In particular, it is a resolution, not a bill. A The resolution expresses moodNo official law is changed as a bill.
