In one of the nation's greatest local papers, we used a line from Somerset Maugham to describe the razor's edge that Colorado has walked in leading the country in energy policy.
"Colorado is writing the national blueprint on emissions control"

For infrastructure to be built, we need to dramatically change our approach to planning, permitting, and social license to operate. We spell it out in the @FT:

We're turning infrastructure week from a punchline into an infrastructure decade.

Aspirations for manufacturing, energy security, climate change, and clean energy all hinge on deploying massive infrastructure.
That only happens with much better systems for planning, permitting, and community engagement.

Thanks to recent growth and planned expansions in domestic solar manufacturing, including @FirstSolar's #Ohio facility, it's more economical to mine tellurium in #Utah and secure a domestic supply chain. Learn more from @TWWPioneer 👇

The @payneinstitute Simon Lomax & @MBazilian look closely at one energy transition not going so well in @ColoradoSun.
Nothing to do with technology or innovation, everything to do with markets, trade, policy, &geopolitics.
