SWEETWATER COUNTY — Energy transition cannot be stopped, according to University of Wyoming economist Robert Godby, and now is the time for those in southwest Wyoming and elsewhere to make plans to help affected communities and work to diversify the state’s economy.

Godby acknowledged that people don’t always like what he has to say. He was one of three panelists at a webinar titled “Wyoming’s Reality & Future Opportunities” in June. Godby is the associate dean of the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming. He also serves as deputy director of the Center for Energy Regulation and Policy Analysis (CERPA) and is an associate professor in the UW Economics Department.
