I saw where Wyoming recently passed a law that prevents the use of any renewable energy wind solar etc by utility companies. While you can argue the viability of renewable sources that doesn’t sound very free market to me.

You sure about that? Every state has had to implement its own “Renewable Energy Standards” that REQUIRE buying renewable energy.

I found articles from last week where Wyoming Republican state solons introduced such a law. I don't think it has passed yet.

WYOMING IS BASICALLY TRYING TO OUTLAW CLEAN ENERGY

In my travels in the west, I find people,who actually LIVE there absolutely hate the encroachment of the 400 foot windmill towers and the nonstop THRUMP, THRUMP, THRUMP they make as well as the nonstop blinking shadows. I suspect this introduced law, at root, is trying to remedy that problem. People have been totally frustrated for two decades to stop these monstrosities because of federal laws that gave the states renewable targets to meet. People are madder than hell that the Feds Exempted themselves from laws against noise pollution, visual pollution, light pollution and massive bird deaths. It's a perfect case of Washington knowing precisely how the rest of the country should live.

These environmental costs have been completely swept under the rug. More power to Wyoming to stop this madness.
