No to Laramie Range Wind Project

Something to consider as we plan for Wyoming’s future.

A recent decision in Wyoming may seem routine.

This video is worth a few minutes of your time.

It shows how large-scale wind development is already impacting golden eagles in the West. Not in theory—right now.

Now bring that into focus here in Wyoming.

Across southeastern Wyoming—from Rawlins to Cheyenne and north through Horse Creek, Chugwater, and beyond—we are not looking at isolated projects anymore. We are watching a corridor take shape. What many are calling the Wyoming Wind Wall.

Here’s the disconnect:
Projects are approved one at a time.
But the impacts don’t happen that way.

Wildlife moves across the entire landscape. Golden eagles don’t encounter one turbine—they encounter hundreds across a connected footprint.

That’s why this matters.

This isn’t about stopping progress. It’s about responsible planning at the scale of what is actually being built.

Before this corridor is fully connected, we should be asking:
• What are the cumulative impacts?
• Why aren’t we evaluating the full picture?
• What happens once this landscape is changed for good?

Once it’s built, it cannot be undone.

One corridor. No full review. Wyoming deserves better.

UPDATE: 376 Voices and Growing — The Full Picture Is Coming Into Focus

In just a short time, 376 people have signed this petition calling for a more complete review of large-scale energy development across southeastern Wyoming.

Thank you. This momentum matters.

As more people engage, one thing is becoming clearer: this is not just about individual projects. It’s about how those projects connect—and how their impacts add up across a shared landscape.

Recently, we’ve been taking a closer look at something that often gets overlooked: our roads and infrastructure.

Large industrial projects don’t just use land—they rely heavily on public roads. Each project brings thousands of heavy truck trips, including oversized and overweight loads. These same routes—state highways, county roads, and rural connectors—are being used again and again.

And here’s the key issue:

We evaluate these impacts one project at a time, but they occur across an entire corridor.

Under well-established engineering principles like the Fourth Power Law, heavy loads don’t just add wear—they accelerate it exponentially. That means a short construction window can consume years of a road’s lifespan. When multiple projects use the same routes, those impacts compound.

At the same time, Wyoming is already facing transportation funding challenges. When long-term infrastructure impacts aren’t fully accounted for upfront, costs don’t disappear—they shift. Often to taxpayers. Often later.

This is not about stopping development.

It’s about making sure the process matches the scale of what’s actually happening.

Right now, there is no consistent requirement to evaluate:

* Shared haul routes across projects
* Combined traffic volumes
* Long-term infrastructure impacts

That’s the gap.

This petition is about closing that gap.

✔ Require corridor-level review
✔ Evaluate cumulative impacts
✔ Plan responsibly before the landscape—and infrastructure—are permanently changed

Infrastructure doesn’t reset between projects.

If development is happening at corridor scale, planning should happen at corridor scale.

This isn’t one project. It’s a corridor.

This interview says it plainly. https://www.youtube.com/live/MMXysCLFsHA?si=hnVK8mNvgwCwH8rT&t=7588

What’s happening across Wyoming isn’t just one project… it’s a corridor.

Projects are being reviewed one at a time,
but built across hundreds of thousands of acres.
No full picture. No cumulative review.
That should concern all of us.

We’re asking for a pause on new approvals until Wyoming requires a full, corridor-wide impact review.

Protect our land.
Protect our wildlife.
Protect Wyoming’s future.

Wendy Volk will be live on the Cowboy State Daily Show today at 8:00 AM (MT) talking about the Wyoming Wind Wall.

After 30+ years in real estate—and being part of a ranching family in Laramie County—she’s watched how land use evolves over time. What’s happening now is different in scale, and it’s worth a broader conversation.

In less than two weeks, more than 300 people have signed the petition calling for a more responsible approach to large-scale wind development across southeastern Wyoming.

That number matters; but what matters more is why people are signing.

They are ranchers, landowners, hunters, and residents who understand this landscape. People who recognize that what’s happening is not a single project, but a growing, connected industrial corridor across the Laramie Range and surrounding plains.

Many have shared words of encouragement that echo the same theme:

* “We’re not against energy; we’re for doing it right.”
* “Look at the whole picture, not one project at a time.”
* “Once this land is changed at this scale, there’s no going back.”

This is exactly the point.

Wyoming has always led in energy. But leadership also means ensuring that our policies match the scale of what’s being built. Right now, projects are reviewed individually, but constructed collectively.

That disconnect is why this petition continues to grow.

Three hundred voices is not the end goal; a signal.

A signal that people across Wyoming and beyond are asking for something reasonable:

👉 A pause on new large-scale approvals
👉 A requirement for full, corridor-wide cumulative impact analysis
👉 A process that reflects the true scale of development on land, wildlife, and communities

If you’ve already signed…thank you. Your voice is part of a growing call for balance, transparency, and long-term thinking.

If you haven’t yet, now is the time.

Because once this corridor is fully built, the opportunity to plan it responsibly will be behind us.
