Seems like I’m seeing more and more articles in the local paper about green jobs opening up in Northern Colorado. This bodes well for the future of the Colorado economy and the economy of the US as a whole. Unless we put our energies into finding renewable, green sources of energy, we’ll be running into a brick wall before long (or a lack of oil wall).
Our economy has relied on oil, coal, and natural gas for so long that it’s become standard to think that nothing else will work as well. Researchers in new energy sources are beginning to prove that thinking wrong.
I applaud the efforts to make Colorado the base for the new energy economy and would encourage our state officials to continue to encourage growth in this area while discouraging growth in the uranium and nuclear fields.
