How a Wyoming billionaire eyes renewable profits in California

摘要

The US states of California and Wyoming's attitudes towards fossil fuels and renewables are as different as chalk and cheese. For instance, the state of California has the largest economy in the US with a population of 40mn, is hi-tech, and plans to obtain half its power from renewables by 2030. Wyoming has the 49th smallest state economy, a population of just half a million and is coal-rich and pro-fossil fuels - so much so, that it taxes the wind farms within its jurisdiction.
