PRESS RELEASE: Wyoming Clean Energy Economy Jobs Grew More than Four Times Faster than Overall Jobs (PDF) – The Pew Charitable Trusts, June 10, 2009

Wyoming has a small but fast-growing piece of America’s clean energy economy. Jobs in the state’s clean energy economy grew at a far faster rate between 1998 and 2007 than total jobs during the same period. In the past three years, all of the nearly $7 million the state attracted in clean technology venture capital has been invested in the Clean Energy sector. Duke Energy, one of the largest electric power companies in the United States, announced in April 2009 the expansion of its renewable power business in Wyoming, including the development of its third wind facility in the state. Wyoming has the potential to be one of the nation’s largest wind-producing states.
