Wikipedia: [[wikipedia:Solar power in Wyoming|Solar power in Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Wind power in Wyoming|Wind power in Wyoming]]: Wyoming has one of the highest wind power potentials of any United States (U.S.) state. Wyoming's geography of high-altitude prairies and broad ridges makes the state an ideal site for the development of wind resources. Other factors that positively affect Wyoming's wind power development potential are the high percentage of land owned by the federal government, the low population density, and the historical importance of the mining and energy sectors to the state's economy. A chief disadvantage to large-scale wind power production in the state are Wyoming's relative distance from major population centers, and the lack of transmission capacity. | Wikipedia: [[wikipedia:Solar power in Wyoming|Solar power in Wyoming]], [[wikipedia:Wind power in Wyoming|Wind power in Wyoming]]: Wyoming has one of the highest wind power potentials of any United States (U.S.) state.
