A few weeks ago, I had the chance to meet Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon at an energy-related event hosted by the Common Sense Institute. I was very impressed with his deep knowledge on a wide range of issues, particularly energy and education. I asked the gov if he'd be willing to join me on the show and he said "absolutely". Of course, KOA has listeners in Wyoming!
