Te Wyoming Legislature,
. . . concluded, that Wyoming did, and
. . . that gave them the right to tax it.
In the 4 years since Wyoming began,
. . . taxing power generated by wind turbines,
. . . it has collected a little less than
. . . $15 million in revenue.
No, that is not much money in a resource state rocked by,
. . . the simultaneous decline in the prices of:
. . . . . . Coal,
. . . . . . Oil, and
. . . . . . Natural gas,
. . . a state trying to close a budget gap that could reach
. . . $500 million.
Some powerful state lawmakers,
. . . are looking to raise those taxes.
Is this Wyoming lashing out at clean energy,
. . . as payback for federal policy aimed at scaling back,
. . . the coal industry on which the state has always relied?
