TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. (AP) _ The nation's Western governors say federal leadership has been lacking on energy and they hope to prod the next administration.
The governors want to draft a national energy policy they hope will influence the next president. They say their region is well positioned to take the lead on the issue.
The statement yesterday came on the final day of the Western Governors' Association meeting in Wyoming.
The governors held three days of discussions on issues related to energy, climate change, water supply and wildlife habitat. Over the next several months, representatives from the governors' offices will craft the energy policy proposal.
The discussion centered on the need for diverse, secure and affordable energy sources, relying both on traditional fuels and expanding renewable sources.
