2022 CO Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Greg Lopez: Don't close coal mines to remove phantom of climate change

If you want to know what our governor is going to do just look at what California is doing and that is exactly what he is going to do. There are several coal mines that are scheduled to be closed with no consideration as to the economic devastation the closures will cause to the families in the surrounding communities. It is wrong to sacrifice the quality of lives of hard-working men and women in rural Colorado in hopes of removing the "phantom of climate change."

Heidi Ganahl: We should be producing oil and gas here in Colorado

The candidate laid out her legislative priorities, if elected Colorado's next governor. "The first thing we have to do is deal with affordability in Colorado," she told us, explaining, "Number one, we've got to get our oil and gas workers back to work to address the rising cost of gas. There is no reason we shouldn't be producing oil and gas here in Colorado versus buying it in Iran or Russia. That's ridiculous."
