Thanks to @RepJeffHurd for meeting with @copirg and @EnvironmentCO today! Was great to discuss wildlife crossings and #righttorepair so we can keep people & wildlife safe and have access to be able to fix our own stuff.

The opening of the first major wildlife crossing along the I-70 Mountain Corridor is a significant milestone in our efforts to keep people and animals safe on and along our roads. The wildlife crossing is expected to reduce animal-vehicle collisions by 90%. Thanks to the @ColoradoDOT (CDOT) for its hard work and partnership in keeping animals and drivers safer.

Colorado's elected leaders, ranchers and local businesses have worked for more than a decade to protect the Thompson Divide’s streams, aspen groves and ecosystems. Today, our administration is fulfilling their vision for this cherished place. doi.gov/pressreleases/biden-…

What do you see in this inkblot: a bison in need of protection, sadness over what was lost on the Plains, or a bipartisan opportunity in Congress to save wildlife by passing the Recovering America's Wildlife Act? #RecoverWildlife

Crested Butte in the Rocky Mountains has cold winters. Yet, the town is moving away from gas heating & became the first city in CO to adopt a #buildingelectrification policy. Cold-climate #heatpumps eliminate the need for gas heating. coloradonewsline.com/2022/08…

Colorado is surpassing goals on its already ambitious plans to increase renewables, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ditch coal. The state is now set to shut down its last coal-fired power plant by 2031, 3 years ahead of the original schedule, reports @EENewsUpdates

Last year, Denver made history by passing an ordinance requiring building owners to replace gas systems with electric alternatives. Now, the city has approved $41.4 million to shift buildings off of fossil fuels. CleanEnergyHomes denverite.com/2022/07/13/e-b…
