Re: “,” June 10 editorial.
The Denver Postap editorial is misguided and shortsighted. Expanding natural gas may offer short-term economic benefits, but at a great price to our land, climate and long-term economic well-being. Colorado is experiencing a changing climate, from bark beetle kill to reduced snowpack and record wildfires. Expanding natural gas will further threaten the parks, mountains and forests that our economy relies on. But there’s good news. Colorado has virtually limitless renewable energy resources, which are booming across the country. Instead of relying on dirty fossil fuels, we should expand clean, renewable energy like wind and solar, and reap the economic and environmental benefits.
