Wyoming Public Media's 2014 Forum On Coal On Open Spaces

The WPM Forum On Coal was a moderated discussion about the challenges coal is currently facing politically, economically and environmentally, how that could impact Wyoming in the future, and ways the state is innovating to keep coal relevant.

WPM guests included Wyoming Treasurer Mark Gordon, Rocky Mountain Power VP Rita Meyer and Clean Energy Action co-founder Leslie Glustrom. The forum was held February 26, at 7pm, in front of a live audience at the Laramie County Library in Cheyenne.

Sponsored in part by the Wyoming Mining Association, UW Ruckelshaus Institute, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
