OK, the title is a tease. The U.S. has four Carbon counties, located in Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana. This training is for a wind farm to be built in Carbon County, Wyoming. The company that hopes to erect the wind turbines is a Chinese company named Goldwind Works. The project could generate hundreds of full time operations and support positions.
Last year Linda and I drove though Wyoming on I-80. The number of existing wind turbines we could see from the freeway was amazing. The Trump Administration may be pushing coal mining, but coal is a dying technology.
Information for this post was from today’s business section of the Times., See “Wyoming Wind Project Envisions Coal Miners As Its New Work Force,” p. B6.
