As I mentioned on the last post
Its going to ruin most states around it too, Wyoming is a massive net electricity exporter, due to cheap coal and wind resources. A majority of what they produce is transmitted to neighboring states, as far as Oregon and Washington.

Majority, but not 100%. My point is Wyoming is a pretty supplier for electricity to most of the western grid interconnection system and taking multiple GW out of the export market so suddenly is gonna hurt the entire interconnects stability.
