Wyoming is finding new ways to drive economic growth and to address carbon emissions. The state’s approach of looking to “innovation, not regulation” is creating new opportunities in carbon capture and adopting its resources for a decarbonized economy. An “all-of-the-above” energystrategy means simultaneously championing extraction industries while dedicating time, energy and resources to new sources like nuclear, hydrogen, carbon capture and wind power.
