"The Air Quality Control Commission is required to analyze the economic impacts, and they didn’t do that,” Garfield County Commissioner Tom Jankovsky.
Why we're challenging the Air Commission's rule making process:

Public comment period for the COGCC's virtual meeting this morning. Commissioner Jankovsky, Garfield County: Since SB181 was signed into law local operations have dwindled from 5 rigs to 1 rig, and that's not due to prices. SB181 is an urban bill at the cost of rural Colorado.
Mesa County Commissioner Rose Pugliese, “One size does not fit all. The access to our resources and topography is different here than the rest of the state. We have enough resources locally to power the State of CA for 50 years. We need an adequate local voice." #copolitics
Yuma County Commissioner Trent Bushner: We have a set of low producing wells, and producers leave town when strict rules come down. Our valuation has gone from 54% to less than 10%. That is a distinct economic impact, and legally should be taken into consideration. #copolitics
Logan County Commissioner Jane Bauder: We need to have two sets of rules - one for urban and one for rural. We care about our air quality and our health as much as you do, but one size does not fit all in Colorado. #coleg#copolitics
The people I know in #oilandgas don't want a new job or a gov’t check. They want to keep the good-paying jobs they already have, producing the energy Sen. Sanders needs and uses each day. Under his plan, oil/gas doesn’t go away, it just comes from foreign sources. #copolitics

🚨🚨The #USMCA is now law. 🚨🚨
I'm proud to support this historic free trade agreement that will boost Colorado’s vibrant trade relationship with Mexico and Canada and support the nearly 250,000 Colorado jobs that depend on trade with our North American neighbors.
A new, peer-reviewed study from @NOAA finds that previous studies have overestimated methane emissions from U.S. oil and natural gas development: https://t.co/tRRFFlp0CV
Unfortunately energy production (and #oilandgas)is now a political football. Learn why hydrocarbons have & continue to make our lives better today than at any other time in the history of mankind

On #EarthDay a good way to help our planet is to stop promoting magical thinking like the #GreenNewDeal.
My video collaboration with @ManhattanInst's @CityJournal looks at the “science” behind this proposal:
