Coal remains Colorado’s dominate source of electricity generation, with 37% of the state’s power fueled by coal compared to the national average of 20%, according to a Center for Biological Diversity analysis of data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Electric Power Monthly.

Lawsuit Challenges Colorado's Approval of Increased Air Pollution From Tanker Truck Facility in Commerce City

Conservation and community groups sued the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division today for issuing a permit allowing Polar Service Center, a tanker truck repair shop, to emit increased asthma- and cancer-causing air pollution.

The lawsuit was filed by North Range Concerned Citizens and the Center for Biological Diversity in the Colorado state district court in Adams County. The county is part of the Denver Metro/North Front Range area, which, for more than 15 years, has violated the national smog standard set to protect the health of people and wildlife.

The Environmental Protection Agency recently downgraded this area to the category of severe smog problems. And the truck repair shop is located in a part of Commerce City already heavily overburdened with pollution.
