The Bureau of Reclamation has proposed a project to be constructed at Medicine Bow, Wyoming that will integrate utility-sized wind turbines into an already existing hydroelectric system. Despite the final positive feasibility report and environmental assessment of the project, several issues that remain undecided are discussed. The construction of wind-energy fields could potentially provide as much as 10% of the West's power requirements by the year 2000. 1 figure.
