Social License for Wyomings Energy Future: A Replication Study

This study, prepared in collaboration with the PCOR Partnership and the Intermountain West Energy Sustainability and Transitions (I-WEST), explores the perspectives, values, needs, and concerns of Wyoming residents in relation to energy in Wyoming. It is a replication of a 2020 study published as Social License for Wyoming's Energy Future: What Do Residents Want?. Both studies were motivated by a desire to understand what Wyoming residents want in relation to energy and why. This replication provides an update and comparison to the 2020 study and allows us to track how Wyoming residents, perspectives about energy have evolved over time. We have framed our analysis through the lens of the social license to operate, as a way to understand the types of energy Wyoming residents approve of and accept.;
