Given the grim IPCC report released yesterday, perhaps it is appropriate to consider at this point the "mortality cost of carbon" calculation:

It doesn't have to be this way, but if we don't act decisively now it will be. We must change how we are doing things, but change doesn't have to be negative. It can lead to better days ahead. (3/3)

Heat & disasters are everywhere this summer. “Climate science couldn’t predict it would be in 2021, as opposed to 2017 or 2023...” (1/3)

“But it’s not unexpected, and we have a pretty good idea what the long run looks like: It will be a painful transition, and in a couple of generations, the world will be different — different than the world that was, and different than the world that is now.” (2/3)

Coming out of 2021 leg session, we have an awful lot of work to do on clean energy/climate at
@COEnergyOffice. 7 openings in our regulatory policy team, building benchmarking/performance standards, and weatherization! Come make a difference!

It seems Tri-State didn't get the answer from FERC it was hoping for.

The cost of burning carbon is real, just as any other cost associated with an activity. It should always be part of the discussion. @ByMarkJaffe writes a good informative summary of the issue in the @ColoradoSun.

@MGoodland @MarkFerrandino @colo_politics Maybe while @MarkFerrandino is DOR executive director the state can finally meet his goal (or maybe it was his lament) of a personalized license plate for every Coloradan!

Just in: Colorado has traded its 8th congressional seat to St. Louis, along with 500 million cash.

@JesseAPaul Sorry you had to go there already. Cheese sticks tomorrow?

[Mike Foote @SenMikeFoote]

The differences in technology, cost, and emissions are among the reasons why we are seeing such a rapid shift in power production. We are starting to see the same dynamic with electric vehicles too.

@colewist Or leave in the middle of the trial.
