Amid the pomp, red baseball caps and star-studded roster of entertainers at President Donald Trump's inauguration, it's been all too easy to overlook the unpredictable interplay of politics and energy markets.

Luckily, Wyoming is here to remind us.

take on Warren Buffet and California Edison. This proposed Wind Farm will Generate Electricity for Rocky Mountain Power,Arizona Power and California mostly Orange County Light and Power.

What never gets talked about is,here in the Southwest we depend on Water Power like Lake Powell and Lake Mead. Fact is the forecast is telling us these two main sources of Power could be off line in 2018 if current water usage continues. And those Coal Fired Power Plants are not going to reopen,they are for the most part totally worn out. And the cost of retrofitting without Tax dollars is out of the picture and you would have a easier time building a Ball Park before this would happen.
