Good morning, Sheridan.

Stanford researchers have shown that solar panels can generate small amounts of electricity at night by using radiative cooling.

Local solar installers say Wyoming’s large temperature swings may help test this night solar technology for low-power devices — a step that requires more research before it becomes common — while new battery improvements could boost future use.

Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman sent a letter to the federal transportation department on Thursday urging officials to remove a rule that stops truck inspectors from pulling non-English-speaking drivers from the road for safety checks—her letter comes as fatal truck crashes in Wyoming have risen. Her move follows an executive order promoting English as the official language and raises concerns about highway safety in the state.

Experts have warned that water hemlock—often mistaken for wild carrots or parsnips—has been linked to at least two deaths in Yellowstone and is common in many Wyoming counties including Sheridan.

They advise locals to avoid foraging without proper knowledge because even a small amount can be fatal.

Bill Sniffin urges Wyoming residents to start walking as the weather warms and snow melts, noting that paths in Sheridan and other cities offer safe routes for exercise.

He recommends using good shoes and devices that count steps—like smartphones or smartwatches—to help track progress and improve health.
