Big Wyoming is the least populous of the 50 United States, it's also the coal champion of the nation. Nearly 40% of all the coal mined in the U.S. comes from Wyoming and powers many coal-fueled power plants around the country. Almost 90% of the state's own electricity generation comes from coal as well, with the rest supplied by wind turbines. Wyoming is one of the few states that did not enact a Renewables Portfolio Standard that sets specific targets for renewable energy sources. As a result, the installed solar PV capacity in the state is negligible. Which is a shame, because the state is blessed with above average levels of sunshine and this precious solar energy resource goes unused.
