The updated rules are certainly an improvement on past rules (see the COGCC press release pasted at the bottom of this blog), but ultimately much more needs to be done to truly protect Coloradans’ health, air, land, water and climate. We will need to stay vigilant to keep demanding the changes that are needed and hold our leaders and regulators accountable!

Here I thought Colorado was only 1500 miles away, and Pennsylvania bordered WV. But apparently they're actually on another planet. Can you imagine such laws--or vetoes--in WV? Wow.
