The Wall Street Journal reported today that political leaders in the state of Wyoming are still pro-coal, despite impending carbon emissions regulations that could put pressure on the industry.
As quoted in the press release:
In Wyoming, which produces more coal than any other state and accounts for roughly 40% of the nation’s coal output, political leaders aren’t interested in contemplating a postcoal era. While new emission standards likely would accelerate the turn to other energy sources for electricity generation already under way, Wyoming has dug in, vowing to keep coal as an economic bedrock, if not here, then by exporting it overseas.
