SUGAR LAND,TX--(Marketwired - Apr 19, 2016) - -- Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- A huge proposed windfarm in Wyoming took a step forward last month when the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (Washington, D.C.) said Phase I of the proposed Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Windfarm would not have a significant impact on the environment. Phase I of the project calls for a 1,500-megawatt (MW) windfarm to be built south of Rawlins, Wyoming, at a cost of about $2.6 billion, project spokesperson Kara Choquette told Industrial Info.
