Powering Progress

An All-of-the-Above Energy Strategy for Wyoming

Powering Progress is a business-led commitment to advance an all-of-the-above energy strategy that keeps Wyoming reliable, competitive, and energy strong. Not by choosing winners and losers, but by embracing innovation, certainty, and Wyoming’s full energy potential.

The Issue

Wyoming’s economy is powered by energy, and our future depends on keeping it competitive.

Demand for reliable, affordable, and secure energy is growing. At the same time, policy uncertainty, regulatory barriers, and infrastructure constraints are limiting Wyoming’s ability to lead. An all-of-the-above energy strategy ensures Wyoming remains an energy powerhouse while meeting modern demands.

WY It Matters

Energy supports thousands of Wyoming jobs and local economies
Reliable power is critical to manufacturing, agriculture, and infrastructure
Wyoming energy strengthens national security and grid reliability
Innovation creates opportunities for new investment and diversification

Restricting energy development doesn’t reduce demand, it shifts production elsewhere.

The Wyoming Chamber's Position

Through Powering Progress, the Wyoming Chamber supports an all-of-the-above energy approach that:

Leverages Wyoming’s natural advantages
Encourages innovation across traditional and emerging energy sources
Maintains reliability, affordability, and environmental responsibility
Preserves Wyoming’s role as a national energy leader
