In an opinion piece published in Colorado Politics, CRED's Dan Haley celebrates a rare compromise between major environmental groups, leading oil and natural gas companies, Gov. Jared Polis, and legislative leadership. This compromise tightens the state’s air quality regulations while raising millions of new dollars for transit and wildlife projects. It also means energy and economic security for Colorado, thanks to the oil and natural gas industry's investment and operations here. Colorado is best served when everyone works together in pursuit of our common goals. (fb)

Colorado's energy needs are growing every day. Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry is working with our partners to ensure our state has the energy it needs for decades to come. “I represent a huge portion of Weld County, which is an all-of-the-above leader in energy," Rep. Gabe Evans of the 8th Congressional District of Colorado remarked as he toured a variety of energy production sites in Weld County last week. “Weld County is one of the fastest growing regions in Colorado, as Northern Colorado's population is expected to double in the next 20 years. ‘We know the data. In the next 10 years this part of Weld County is going to need three times as much energy on the grid as there is today,’ Evans said.” Check out this story to learn more about Rep. Evans’s tour of Colorado energy! (fb)
