No to Laramie Range Wind Project

More than 23,000 birds and bats were killed by wind turbines in Wyoming in 2025, according to a report presented Wednesday to the state Game and Fish…

Fred Harrison raises an important question: Who should determine Wyoming’s future, and what kind of landscape are we leaving to future generations?

For me, this discussion extends beyond federal policy or renewable energy. It is about how Wyoming manages the cumulative effects of industrial development across southeastern Wyoming.

When projects are reviewed one at a time, it is difficult for citizens and decision-makers to fully understand the combined impacts on wildlife, transportation, water resources, emergency services, ranching, tourism, property rights, and the rural character that defines our state.

Governor Mark Gordon’s recent executive order on planning for large-scale industrial development recognized that Wyoming must consider these broader, interconnected impacts. That same principle should apply to the growing concentration of wind projects, transmission corridors, data centers, mining operations, and associated infrastructure.

Whether someone supports or opposes any individual project, I hope we can agree on one point: Wyoming deserves a comprehensive, corridor-wide review of cumulative impacts before irreversible changes are made to our landscape.

Good planning is not anti-development. It is responsible stewardship. Wyoming has always balanced economic opportunity with protecting the land, wildlife, and communities that make our state unique. We owe future generations nothing less.

Columnist Fred Harrison writes, "Supporters present wind energy as clean, affordable, and market-ready. But if wind power is as economically sound as its…

🦅 WYOMING WIND WALL RALLY 🦅

Join fellow Wyoming citizens on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at 12:00 PM at the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne as we gather to raise awareness about the growing impacts of industrial wind development across our state.

The proposed Laramie Range Wind Project is one of many large scale projects planned along Wyoming's iconic landscapes. This rally is an opportunity for residents, landowners, sportsmen, conservationists, ranchers, and community members to come together and advocate for thoughtful planning, responsible development, and the protection of Wyoming's wildlife, open spaces, and rural heritage.

The American Golden Eagle has long symbolized the spirit and freedom of the West. As development continues across migration corridors and important wildlife habitat, many Wyoming citizens are asking for a closer look at the cumulative impacts these projects may have on our landscapes, wildlife, communities, and quality of life.

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

A recent decision in Wyoming may seem routine.

Mark your calendars and come join the discussion.

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.

If you haven’t signed yet, please join the 376 people who already have.
If you have signed, please share this with others who care about Wyoming’s future.

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.
