Overview of Energy Development Opportunities for Wyoming

[摘要] An important opportunity exists for the energy future of Wyoming that will ??? Maintain its coal industry ??? Add substantive value to its indigenous coal and natural gas resources ??? Improve dramatically the environmental impact of its energy production capability ??? Increase its Gross Domestic Product These can be achieved through development of a carbon conversion industry that transforms coal and natural gas to synthetic transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks, and chemicals that are the building blocks for the chemical industry. Over the longer term, environmentally clean nuclear energy can provide the substantial energy needs of a carbon conversion industry and be part of the mix of replacement technologies for the current fleet of aging coal-fired electric power generating stations.
