| Summary |
The plan sets out measures that the state can adopt to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by 20 percent by 2020, and makes a shared commitment with other states and nations to even deeper emissions cuts by 2050 It pushes energy efficiency measures that will reduce demand for electrical energy and lower utility bills; builds on the state’s recently expanded Renewable Portfolio Standard and looks for ways to develop renewable energy supplies even further; includes an ambitious goal for making cars and trucks run more cleanly and efficiently while saving consumers money at the pump; and provides a new opportunity for rural Colorado by creating economic incentives for major utilities and industries to pay farmers and ranchers to sequester more carbon in the soil. |
