Travel In Wyoming

March 28th, 2011 10:22 pm


In Wyoming you have blue skies, mountains, and rivers for miles. After learning what Wyoming can offer you, that’s what you will be saying. Starting with the world-renowned Yellowstone National Park, there are an awesome amount of Wyoming attractions. Although the state is best known for Yellowstone Park, travelers can also experience an excellent array of historical museums, interesting tourist hotels, and some great tours and day trips.

Like many Wyoming vacations, you can begin in Yellowstone National Park, one of the most popular Wyoming attractions, and make your way over to Cheyenne, the state’s capital. Yellowstone National Park has over 2 million acres of unspoiled land and is home to some great National Monuments such as Old Faithful. The town of Cody Wyoming is nearby with its excellent selection of Cody hotels, a popular place for park-goers to stay during their vacations to Yellowstone.

No Wyoming travel guide would be complete with out a mention of Colonel Buffalo Bill Cody. Buffalo Bill is considered one of the founding fathers of Wyoming, and the city of Cody bears his name. Buffalo Bill was not only famous for his service to the United States Army, but also for the exciting road show he created, which played on the wild nature of the Old West. Buffalo Bill was beloved during his lifetime and has remained an icon of life in Wyoming and 19th century America.

Renewable Energy Grants Their Senators Opposed

March 27th, 2011 10:24 pm


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.
