During a meeting of the Wyoming Board of Land Commissioners in Douglas, officials discussed the Pronghorn H2 wind energy project, which aims to use wind power for off-grid hydrogen production. A recent court ruling vacated the project's lease due to non-compliance with state wind energy laws, prompting plans for an appeal by Wyoming Attorney General Keith Kauz.

The ruling favored rancher Mike Stephens, who raised concerns about the project's impact. Tensions arose between Governor Mark Gordon and Secretary of State Chuck Gray during the meeting, with Gray planning to revisit the issue with the board. The project, backed by Focus Clean Energy, proposed up to 267 wind turbines on 15,500 acres of state land.
