The eighty mile drive from Cody to Thermopolis covers the kind of territory you remember from old western movies. It is wide open sage brush land, with snow covered mountains in the far distance.

There is so much our IEA leadership can learn from this modeling of sitting at the table.
Perhaps they’re watching.
