Trump DOE, ignoring plain text of IRA, is trying to limit consumer choice in use of home energy rebates. “It’s a slap in the face to rural Coloradans,” Mr. Toor said, “at a moment when energy affordability is one of the defining issues in this country.”

In Texas yesterday, solar provided >50% of the power to the grid for much of the day.
If solar is such a bad energy source, why is Texas investing so much in it?
They have the most competitive electricity marketplace in the country, and solar is winning more and more.

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity
HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

You wouldn't know it if you live in the USA or consume US media and politics, but the fight between EVs and ICEs is basically over. Internal combustion is on it's way out. First it'll look slow, then fast. Fleet turnover will lag sales. But ALL the growth globally is in EVs. If your company isn't competitive in building EVs and can only build internal combustion, you're going to be stuck serving an ever-smaller share of a shrinking global market over the next decade...

Dem @GovofCO Jared Polis thinks his party should talk more about climate change and frame it as an economic issue.
"I don't think there's any part of America that's been spared the impact of climate change," he told our @zcolman on POLITICO Energy.

CO just continues to pass good housing bills. This was the child of YIGBY. last year single stair reform; the year before was removing parking mandates, allowing ADUs, removing occupancy restrictions, allowing more housing near transit. coloradosun.com/2026/03/26/c…

"Efforts aimed at purifying the state’s worst industrial smokestacks has yielded stunning results — six years ahead of targets." I am very proud of the state team at @CDPHE and @COEnergyOffice that developed the GEMM standards. coloradosun.com/2026/03/25/c…

The Trump administration's attack on atmospheric science has lots of collateral damage. Case in point- American Academy of Actuaries says shuttering NCAR will undermine the data insurers needed, likely leading to higher home insurance rates nationwide. subscriber.politicopro.com/a…

"The end of federal greenhouse gas limits is an obstacle, but not a death knell, in the fight against climate change on the state level, experts said.
Colorado helps explain why."

Ordering this broken-down coal plant to stay open will cost Colorado ratepayers upwards of $85 million.
Ludicrously, the coal plant isn’t even operational right now, meaning repairs — to the tune of millions of dollars — are all on the backs of Colorado ratepayers!

Great to see Colorado manufacturers going way above and beyond state regulatory requirements. Turns out that clean energy and pollution reduction is good business! tsscolorado.com/colorado-man…

On a down note, the Trump administration ended the holiday season with a giant, expensive lump of coal in the stocking for ratepayers in CO –a ludicrous order to keep the unneeded ,expensive, and currently broken Craig Unit 1 coal plant operational.(10/n)
