last week we announced that Wyoming is continuing to invest in rare earths with a $7.1 investment in the Cowboy State Mine in Halleck Creek, potentially one of the largest deposits of rare earth materials in the US.

American Rare Earths gets $7.1m grant to advance Cowboy State mine in Wyoming - MINING.COM The company holds the 2.3-billion-tonne Halleck Creek project, which was named last year as one of the world’s top 10 rare earth projects.

"[These rules] are all troublesome when you look at what this administration is doing," Wyoming Energy Authority Executive Director Rob Creager said in an interview... "Our country relies on Wyoming energy, specifically coal," Creager said.

Read more on what Wyoming is doing to protect coal against a flurry of EPA rules and regulations.

Wyoming will pay $300K to EPA-fighting ace The coal state is gearing up for a legal battle against Biden administration climate regulations.

The Uranium industry in Wyoming is nothing new. In fact, Wyoming started mining uranium in 1918 and leads the nation in production. This U.S. ban on Russian uranium imports is a significant step forward to enhancing our energy security -- and our domestic producers. With American companies paying up to $1 billion a year to Russia for enriched uranium, think of what that could do for our homegrown energy industry. 💪💪 Thank you to U.S. Senator John Barrasso for leading this fight. Wyoming is ready.

It was great to host the NASEO Central Regional meeting this week in Jackson, Wyoming.

Always good to get together with our neighboring states to hear what is going on in their states. Lots of great discussion!

Director Rob Creager was thrilled to be at BWX Technologies, Inc. alongside Governor Mark Gordon in Lynchburg, Virginia, earlier this week. It was incredible to be on-site with the company and see its innovation first-hand.

The City of Lander has leveraged the State Energy Program to enhance their facilities and increase energy efficiency and you can be next! 👀

About Us - Wyoming Energy Authority The Wyoming Energy Authority combines the existing scopes of the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority, Wyoming Pipeline Authority and the State Energy Office,

Wyoming is proud to be the home of America's next nuclear reactor, thanks to a strong partnership with TerraPower. Big things are coming in this space!

I sat down with Chris Levesque, CEO of TerraPower, yesterday for an update on the Natrium nuclear project in Kemmerer. Wyoming companies are already getting involved, with Gillette-based Earth Work Solutions set to begin dirt work this month. With Senator Barrasso's bill to ban Russian uranium passed by Congress, there's growing excitement about the nuclear industry in Wyoming.

Things are looking 🔆 BRIGHT🔆 for Laramie County Schools.
