Project Highlights
Transportation Fuels
The Governors have released a report on the status of alternative fuels use in the West. It notes that there is no silver bullet to the challenges to expanded use of alternative fuels in the West and it identifies key policy issues that merit additional consideration by the Governors.
Wildfire
Wildfires have always been part of our western landscape. However, they are increasing in frequency and size. WGA's Forest Health Advisory Committee is working with the Forest Service, Department of the Interior, states, tribes, counties and interested stakeholders to improve wildland fire management in the West.
Renewable Energy
The WGA and the U.S. Department of Energy have released a joint report that takes the first steps toward identifying those areas in the Western Interconnection that have both the potential for large scale development of renewable resources and low environmental impacts.
Wildlife Corridors
The Western Governors' Wildlife Council is coordinating and overseeing the identification of key wildlife corridors and crucial wildlife habitats in the West in order to conserve these lands—and the vast wildlife species that depend upon them—for future generations.
