Renewable Energy Grants Their Senators Opposed

Sunday, March 27th, 2011


In just the first ten days, Wyoming voters used up their share in the funds from The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act designed to end dependence on dirty energy. They voted with their feet against the Senators they sent to vote for dirty energy.

Wyoming voters chose Senators whose party policy as Republicans is to put up persistent obstruction to climate and renewable energy legislation, and both its Republican Senators voted against The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The ARRA funds a level of green energy projects that has led to the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy being described as running a Manhattan Project for clean energy.

The Wyoming State Energy Office ran out of its allocated $2.25 million ARRA funding in less than 10 days in December – which it had expected would take 6 months to use up.

The program offered grants of up to $10,000 or 50 percent of project costs, whichever was less, for adding renewable energy at Wyoming homes. Homeowners may be able to start installing the projects as soon as next month, with reimbursement based on spending invoices and other verification.

By combining the grant with the 30% tax credit that now reduces the cost of any renewable energy project, Wyoming voters now stand to gain energy independence at an affordable rate.

Sheridan Wyoming Rodeo

Monday, March 21st, 2011


Welcome to Sheridan, Wyoming – voted the original #1 Western Town, AND #3 in Top Towns for Outdoorsmen in America! Picturesque, historic and vibrant . . . It’s where Old West meets New West – a pocket of world-class culture wrapped up in hometown hospitality and authentic real West charm.

Sheridan provides history with a view, from its authentic Main Street district lined with historic buildings to the Landmark Historic Sheridan Inn where Buffalo Bill once auditioned acts, to the magnificent backdrop of the Big Horn Mountains.

‘Embrace the West’ while exploring a mansion and museums, or relax in Kendrick Park where the buffalo and elk roam. You can also enjoy lively entertainment with weekly rodeos and polo, theater performances or a stop at the legendary Mint Bar. And if in need, just ask and then embrace the warm, Western hospitality.

Wyoming’s jewel, Sheridan’s fabled western history and dramatic mountain vistas meet New West comfort and the serenity of wide open spaces. Experience authentic history, with this the last, most-prized hunting ground of the Plains Indians – center-stage for the culture clash that erupted on the Great Plains in the late 1800’s. The “Bloody Bozeman Trail” passed just west of Sheridan, with the infamous Little Bighorn battle 90 miles north.
