some of the first laws in the nation, weak as they are, and they are weak. Remember the fire at the waste dump a week ago? No reports of the toxins in that smoke. Then there's the methane plume over the 4 corners. According to Colorado law, local communities cannot ban fracking and are being sued where they've tried.
I'm too tired to go on, but oil and gas are selling out Colorado. With our abundant sun and wind? Energy companies are now over 20% fueled by renewable energy, so we're getting there.
