Wyoming governor touts exports and urges domestic fuel‑cycle rebuilding
Summary
Governor Gordon said Wyoming exports far more energy than it consumes and argued for rebuilding domestic uranium conversion, enrichment and fabrication to secure fuel supplies for advanced nuclear.
Governor Gordon described Wyoming as a major energy exporter and outlined the state's role in uranium, coal and other fuels. "We export about 12 times the amount of energy that we use," he said, and he listed rankings for Wyoming in uranium, coal, natural gas and wind.
He argued the region must rebuild the domestic fuel cycle — conversion, enrichment and fabrication — to reduce dependence on foreign supplies and to enable nuclear projects in the U.S. He said that doing so would create jobs and support rural economies while enabling advanced nuclear deployment.
Context: Gordon framed domestic fuel‑cycle capacity as both a security and economic priority, noting that past reliance on foreign sources created vulnerabilities.
