2018 WY Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Bill Dahlin: I love coal and the energy sector

Wyoming has been long dependent on our natural resources, coal, oil, gas, and trona. I am a businessman, part of my portfolio consists of buying coal, arranging and paying for rail freight to a destination in Crookston, MN where we installed a coal transload facility, thereby giving us the capability to market and sell coal in that region. The business is as strong today as it was when we developed that business almost 3 years ago. I love coal and the energy sector.

Mary Throne: Multiple sources for energy; not an "either or" situation

When asked whether they preferred carbon-based or renewable energy, [Throne's opponents] Wilde and Casner each said they were in favor of renewable sources. "Fossil fuels--they're going to be leaving us," said Wilde. However, Throne stressed that there was no need for it to be an "either or" situation. The energy attorney said she has represented oil, gas, coal and wind companies and believed the state must support all types of energy industries.
