EMA Member Tara Righetti said the vision of places like the University of Wyoming’s Nuclear Energy Research Center, of which she is the co-director, is to create zero-emission industrial hubs. She said Wyoming has the potential to be a hub and leader in decarbonizing both the energy and industrial sectors, adding the industrial sector to the conversation because, even if Wyoming continues to prioritize non-renewable energy, nuclear can mitigate the emissions produced through industrial processes.
