Colorado s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Roadmap Raises Concerns

Is Colorado Underestimating the Oil and Gas Industry’s Impact on Climate Change? State officials, researchers, and advocacy groups disagree about the way methane should be measured as Colorado plans to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Angela Ufheil •   March 15, 2021 Colorado has big goals for combatting climate change. By 2050, greenhouse gas emissions must be down 90 percent from 2005 levels, according to House Bill 19-1261, also known as the Climate Action Plan to Reduce Pollution, which Governor Jared Polis signed into law in 2019. Achieving such a steep decline will require extensive planning, and on January 14, an important part of the state’s blueprint arrived: the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap. Compiled by state agencies, climate scientists, and energy consulting firm Environment & Energy Economics (E3), the 162-page document lays out the state’s biggest sources of greenhouse gases and details strategies for reducing those emissions.

Colorado, feds, team up on regenerative agriculture

These days, he’s still wearing a pair he bought three years ago. The difference? Sayles stopped using harsh fertilizers on his fields that ate through the leather of his boots. Sayles, a fourth-generation farmer with 6,000 acres near Seibert in eastern Colorado, now practices regenerative agriculture, a multi-faceted style of farming that advocates say has a host of benefits, including improved water efficiency, water quality and profitability. Above all else, regenerative agriculture can help restore healthy, fertile soils working with nature, instead of against it. “I’m really tired of fighting nature because she always wins. That’s her ace in the hole,” said Sayles, 64.

OPINION | Natural gas & oil are a key part of the solution

Lynn Granger By now, most Coloradans are familiar with the natural gas and oil industry’s outsized and seemingly repeated participation in state legislative and regulatory proceedings. Readers of these pages have seen our facts and figures time and again, our mountain of eye-popping data underscoring natural gas and oil’s substantial impact on Colorado jobs and its broader economic health. Chances are, you personally know someone whose livelihood depends on our line of work.  All of that is important, and deeply so; communities across Colorado pay for roads, schools and first responders with tax dollars that our industry pumps into the economy. But our mission doesn’t end with jobs, dollars and cents: If it needs repeating, the risks of climate change are real, human activity is a contributor, and we have a responsibility to do something about it.
