2018 CO Governor's race: on Environment


Raul Labrador: Must work with partners to preserve public land

"Of all of the important battles that we're fighting, to protect our environment, keep our air clean, make a contribution on climate change, the only thing that can never be undone is if our public lands were privatized," Polis said. "It's a high-stakes battle, and we need to enlist all our partners in the outdoor recreation industry, economic development and areas and economies that rely on our public lands."

Cary Kennedy: Colorado can be national model on wind energy & cleantech

My goal as governor is for Colorado to have the cleanest air in the country, and to be a model for the nation in using wind and solar energy.

We can accomplish these goals and strengthen Colorado's economy. We can keep electricity affordable, reduce carbon pollution and bring new jobs to Colorado, especially in rural areas. In 2015, cleantech businesses employed 4,250 workers in eastern Colorado alone. This lays the foundation for economic prosperity for our state for decades to come.
