The Pronghorn and Sidewinder hydrogen projects may be proposed for different counties, but they are deeply connected—by the same developer, similar timelines, overlapping technologies, and a shared lack of transparency. Together, they represent a broader push to industrialize large swaths of Wyoming’s open landscape under the banner of “clean energy,” without meaningful public input, clear long-term plans, or full disclosure of the risks. What happens with one project sets a precedent for the other. These aren't isolated proposals—they're part of a coordinated rollout that demands scrutiny, accountability, and a louder voice from the communities being asked to carry the burden.
Local officials and state agencies have a fiduciary responsibility—not just a financial duty, but a legal and ethical obligation to act in the best interests of the people they serve. That means more than balancing budgets or approving big-ticket projects. It means protecting our land, water, wildlife, and communities from irreversible harm.
With massive industrial projects like Pronghorn and Sidewinder, the stakes are high. These aren't just business deals—they're decisions that will shape the future of Wyoming for generations.
Fiduciary responsibility means:
When that responsibility is taken seriously, communities thrive. When it’s ignored, the cost isn’t just financial—it’s environmental, cultural, and generational.
Our future deserves more than rubber-stamped approvals. It deserves leadership that puts people and place first.
