The governor’s Blue Ribbon Energy Task Force is meeting, even went on a controversial field trip to Battlement Mesa,and had to cancel a meeting. Miss that piece on our favorite political blog—even though its genesis was in a big looming fight wrought with political intrigue? No you probably didn’t.
Or what about the Sage Grouse? Not one but two species heading toward a listing in Colorado unless stakeholders act fast, and what has it become? Like the Task Force just an opportunity for candidates to spar over and pivot a nice pirouette around.
The Sage Grouse came up in a recent Garfield County BOCC debate, and has come up in the gubernatorial race as well. But it’s not often introduced this time of year as a subject to solve, but as a cudgel to bludgeon an opponent or an issue to duck if the latest polling suggests it ought to be.
Can the election get here soon enough? Let’s hope it does for the Sage Grouse.

From the BLM map, it looks as though sage grouse habitat is mostly on the western slope. Is that right?
Do you know which animals are endangered in north east CO? That's my new stomping ground, and my students are studying ecosystems and writing about them.
I found this list, but don't know which ones habitat is north east plains.
So , do I have this right, mama? You have moved to Dumbphuckistan?
'Fraid so, Duke. We'll see if I can help make it slightly-smarter-Phuckistan.
I'm sure your presence has already done so….
The Sage Grouse should be the next animal nominated to adorn a Frontier Airlines "tail". Governor?
Excellent idea, Michael.
