If Wasatch Wind succeeds, the ridge dominating the middle distance in this photo will become an industrial facility covering tens of thousands of acres, including 400+-foot-high wind turbines, service roads, a substation and transmission lines. The owner of most of the private land involved has put it at the disposal of the Wasatch venture, which has filed for "special use" permits on more than 7,000 acres of Wyoming state land. The Alliance has requested a moratorium on large-scale industrialization in this area to allow time for the public to consider whether it wants this high country, and the rest of the Northern Laramie Range, to be industrialized.
