State, national and international media frequently feature ѿTV
and members of its community in stories. Here is a summary of some of the recent coverage:
UW environmental engineering Professor Jonathan Brant is quoted in an article about a planned data center near Cheyenne, described as potentially the largest
data center in the country. Brant says even closed-loop cooling systems like that
planned for the facility will see water losses.
In a interview, UW economist Rob Godby says the long-term outlook for coal mining remains
challenging, in spite of the Trump administration’s efforts to revive the industry.
Godby also is quoted in a article about the federal Surface Transportation Board’s ruling against the proposed
merger of the Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroads, which he says reflects
the complexity of evaluating such a massive transaction.
Anti-tax sentiment has been growing in Wyoming in recent years, says Phil Roberts,
UW emeritus professor of history. He’s quoted in a piece about efforts by some lawmakers to do away with all taxation on land and buildings
used for housing.
UW law Professor George Mocsary is quoted in a article about a new U.S. Department of Justice opinion that says a 1927 law banning
the practice of mailing handguns is unconstitutional. Wyomingites should be cautious
about assuming that the opinion gives them the all-clear to start dropping packaged
pistols into the mail, says Mocsary, who heads UW’s Firearms Research Center.
The Laramie Boomerang published UW’s releases about co-written by Bethann Garramon Merkle, a professor of practice in the UW Department of Zoology and Physiology; to UW from Deborah “Debbe” Spicer, of Rock Springs, that establishes three new endowments supporting students across multiple disciplines; from the Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation to UW’s Firearms Research Center; the for a new director of the School of Energy Resources; and UW’s for new students transitioning into campus life in Laramie.
