Actually the multitudes of coal fired power plants that have been built in
Wyoming to provide California and other densly populous areas of the US with
power are really stinking huge areas of rural Wyoming and the rest of the
rural Rocky Mountains up. So much so, that air model studies are showing
that Teddy Roosevelt National Park is losing it's Class 1 air quality
status. The same environmental danger exists with Yellowstone (It's not the
snowmobiles STUPID!) from all the Coal Fired plants that have been built in
Southwestern Wyoming and Utah (whose electricity is primarily consumed by
the densly populated areas of California). After the California rolling
brownouts, federal permits were quickly approved to build more labor union
run coal fired power plants in Wyoming so Gray Davis could get his sorry ass
re-elected and maybe even run for President some day.  After all, every
technologically illiterate enviro wacko in California knows that electricity
is 100% pollution free. You ought to see the brown air cloud that hangs over
eastern and southwestern Wyoming on those days that the wind is not blowing
10-50mph. It would certainly destroy your idiotic image of some rural county
in Wyoming with no industry and 53 cars. On still days, the yellow-brown
cloud stretches some 500 miles from Wheatland through Gillette, Wyoming to
Coalstrip Montana to Teddy Roosevelt National Park, and also covers
Southwestern Wyoming from Rock Springs well into Utah and north over the Jim
Bridger Wilderness into the greater Yellowstone area. It's enough to make
you sick. We need -far- stiffer air quality laws for coal fired power
plants, even in places where Gray Davis and his fellow Californians can't
see the environmental damage their 35 million wreak. Even though
Californian's are far too environmentally unaware to realize it, the
electricity they consume from coal fired powerplants are far worse than a
million SUV's running up and down highway 101.

I wish you fucking Californians would quit telling those of use who don't
live in your shit hole state what we have or don't have or do or don't need.
You obviously don't have an iota of understanding about it.
