1) Despite everything awful about 2020, there is a remarkable amount of good news on the climate/clean energy front in Colorado. Here 's my take on the 15 top accomplishments, in rough chronological order. #energytwitter #ClimateAction 2) In January, @TriStateGT announced a commitment to retire every coal plant in CO by 2030; followed up by filing ERP at the PUC in December that adds about 2GW of wind, solar , storage and cuts GHG pollution 80% by 2030.
