Social License for Wyoming's Energy Future: What Do Residents Want?

Jessica Western, Selena Gerace

Abstract

This two-year study was a collaboration between the University of Wyoming's School of Energy Resources and Ruckelshaus Institute to explore Wyoming residents' perceptions about the state's energy future. The research describes Wyoming citizens' vision for an energy future that is all-inclusive, innovative, and forward-looking, and which considers external market demands and climate change as well as ensures access to reliable low-cost energy, provides a safety net for energy workers, and protects wildlife.
