(That was said in jest, just in case you missed it, or you're too young to remember Hal, the artificial intelligence character in the classic movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. ((Google it.)))

This nuclear industry race may explain why so many vested interests are pushi...

by Wyoming Liberty Group Bill Gates professes to know what's best for our state. Yes, that guy. The cofounder of tech giant Microsoft. By the way, being a billionaire doesn't necessarily make one wise.

by Wyoming Liberty Group It's a basic mathematical equation: A lack of money + a need to pay for stuff = pressure. Pressure to find another source of revenue, if you're the state government in Wyoming. And if we're not careful, we'll end up with a deal with the proverbial devil.
