Today’s big winner is Colorado’s environment. Our wildlife, shared health, and clean water all benefited today, with passage of new oil and gas rules.
Here’s predicting that industry will eventually be back in force–and now we’ll at least have some updated protections.
Colorado’s public lands also scored big, with passage of the Omnibus Public Lands bill, that designates 2 million acres of Wilderness, including in Rocky Mountain National Park and the canyonlands of the Uncompahgre, at the soon-to-be Dominguez Canyons National Conservation Area.
European royalty visited to break ground on the new Vestas factory, which could employ 1,400 new workers by 2010.

It was just a Danish prince … I keep wondering if someone will discover he’s one of those fake princes, wandering the globe showing up at ribbon cuttings and bearing the good wishes of the Denmarkers.
Maybe it’s a girl thing, but the first thing I thought was how I’d still like to be a princess. I don’t think it’s gonna happen, outside of my head. : (
and they were a smashing couple …
Maybe we won’t see turbine blades coming to America by ship, as I have in Houston.
A recent interview with a honcho in Vesta admitted that they were concerned about the Chinese. There are something like 18 Chinese companies ramping up for wind power.
but it’s Vestas.
Thanks.
This is good news.
I remember hearing talk of a wind turbine project on the plains. Is that going forward?
and there is the project in the San Luis Valley, the solar cells one, didn’t they break ground last year? Does anyone know the completion date?
Our home solar hot water system just recently went live (well, I think it’s still live, the panels are under snow right now!).
We decided this was a better place for our money than the stock market and it reduces the hit we take when utility rates change.
If you’ve got any naked roof, consider clothing it in something that produces returns.
Sure, celebrate the big projects, I am excited by them too. But it’s the small projects that will add up to personal energy (reduced)
independence.I spent the first two months glued to the output screen, I can track it by time of day. Giant moron here, “Whoa! That’s when the sun was out.” I watched it anyway.
I know the feeling. We have a data logger set up with our solar PV array. Everyday we download the data, study the output (at 5min intervals), celebrate peak production on cold April days, bemoan a period of cloudy days, etc!
Sometimes we joke that we have a 30k cloud meter!
