In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, host Stu Turley sits down with Tyler Lindholm, Wyoming State Director of Americans for Prosperity, to break down the truth about America’s energy future, federal overreach, the wind farm subsidy scams, coal’s comeback, and why Wyoming is becoming the last line of defense for U.S. energy security.

Lindholm exposes how federal land policies cripple ranchers, why baseload power still matters, how California depends on Wyoming to keep the lights on, and why renewable subsidies are collapsing under their own weight. They also dive into grid reliability, the “duck curve,” production tax credit scams, and how local citizens can take back control of energy policy.

If you care about energy independence, rural America, or honest conversations outside the mainstream media… this is the episode to watch.

Thanks for your leadership, Tyler, in Agriculture, Ranching, and Energy! I had an absolute blast visiting with you. - Stu.
