Sinopsis

Energy rich states produce billions of barrels of oil and gas but are also home to some of the best renewable resources in the country. Earlier this month a massive wind farm got the green light from the state of Wyoming. If the Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project gets federal approval, it would become the largest in the country. But for now, there is no way to transport the electricity it would generate, and no buyers at the other end. For Inside Energy, Leigh Paterson reports on why transmission gridlocks are keeping so much Western wind at bay.
