The Trump administration's attack on atmospheric science has lots of collateral damage. Case in point- American Academy of Actuaries says shuttering NCAR will undermine the data insurers needed, likely leading to higher home insurance rates nationwide. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

This action further harms Colorado’s leading scientific research, competitiveness, and the safety of our communities. cnn.com/2026/02/13/wea…

"The end of federal greenhouse gas limits is an obstacle, but not a death knell, in the fight against climate change on the state level, experts said. Colorado helps explain why." nytimes.com/2026/02/18/cli…

Ordering this broken-down coal plant to stay open will cost Colorado ratepayers upwards of $85 million. Ludicrously, the coal plant isn’t even operational right now, meaning repairs — to the tune of millions of dollars — are all on the backs of Colorado ratepayers! ow.ly/Wr8o50XRa14

Great to see Colorado manufacturers going way above and beyond state regulatory requirements. Turns out that clean energy and pollution reduction is good business! tsscolorado.com/colorado-manuf…

Time for my annual tweetstorm on Colorado’s climate/ clean energy accomplishments. TLDR – the feds made it harder this year but CO is still barreling forward towards an affordable clean energy future. (1/n)

I'm so grateful to the amazing team at the @COEnergyOffice and partner agencies, and the leadership from @GovofCO and the legislature. Here's looking forward to 2026, continuing to drive the clean energy transition for affordable, clean energy for residents and businesses!(11/11)

On a down note, the Trump administration ended the holiday season with a giant, expensive lump of coal in the stocking for ratepayers in CO –a ludicrous order to keep the unneeded ,expensive, and currently broken Craig Unit 1 coal plant operational.(10/n) cpr.org/2025/12/31/tru…

Second half of annual CO climate/clean energy tweetstorm. (1/n)

In October we increased state low income EV incentives by $3,000 to help offset the shortsighted end to federal tax credits for EVs. Second thread coming! (26/26) coloradosun.com/2025/10/02/col…

In September @COEnergyOffice and @ColoradoDNR released a study of RE and transmission siting, on how to accelerate efficient siting to allow the state to affordably, reliably and cleanly meet energy demand and maintain economic growth. (25/n) energyoffice.colorado.gov/siting-study
