Wyoming is poised to have the most diverse energy portfolio of any state in the union. We can easily be the energy capitol of the United States. We fossil fuels, wind, solar, but most importantly we have the minerals. Preventing the manipulation market stimulates in energy will allow the country to reset itself and it's priorities. Fossil fuels donate to conservatives. Renewables donate to liberals. Depending on who is in office determines who gets subsidized, it's a simple "kick-backs" scheme. We have the ability to serve both industries, but with one group or the other facing cut-backs and layoffs, we are divided. Further, our climate and soil is about perfect for the cultivation of biodiesel hemp seeds, which will allow our Agricultural industry to compliment our diverse energy portfolio.
The simple fact is that the more Wyoming's fossil fuels produce the better our state economy and the less of our individual tax burden. Public schools are mostly funded from the mineral royalties our state receives.
