Quit blaming wind and solar for the high costs of coal and gas

Sen. Charles Scott (R-Casper) says he wants to do “some radical things” to change Wyoming’s energy policy.

But what’s so radical about abandoning free-market principles and ignoring the facts to suppress anything and everything that might possibly compete with fossil fuels? The Legislature has been doing that for years. Perhaps the only thing “radical” about Scott’s most recent demonization of renewables is his unabashed disregard for the available data.
