What's New

Environment Colorado passed legislation that helps bring the new energy economy home and will flip-the-switch in solar power plants in our sun rich state.

Summary

Colorado has quickly emerged as a leader in building clean energy, but there is more that we can do. By continuing to invest in renewable energy such as solar, wind, and biofuels and energy efficiency measures we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil, reinvigorate our economy, create good new jobs, protect consumers, and protect our environment.

Colorado's New Energy Future

• Save energy with increased efficiency. The fastest way for Colorado to reduce pollution and save money is to reduce the amount of energy we use. We should require all utilities to facilitate reducing electricity and natural gas use.
• Reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Clean fuels  are the fuels of the future, and some of them are even grown here. Colorado should pass legislation requiring the clean fuels.
•  Harness clean, renewable homegrown energy. With Colorado's vast potential to harvest wind, solar and biomass power we should lead the country in the production of clean energy.
•  Invest in a bold, new energy future. By investing more public and private dollars in new energy-saving and renewable technologies, we'll power our future and improve our economy.
