Big Pivots: We can’t build our way out of this ‘drought’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No place in Colorado that I have visited offers such blunt testimony to the warming, drying climate than Green Mountain Reservoir. It also poses a question to those politicians whose answer to non-winters and ever-hotter summers is more dams and reservoirs. The reservoir between Silverthorne and Kremmling was 14% full during Labor Day weekend, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the operator. Put another way, it was 86% empty. That’s worse even than the roughly 78% empty at Lake Powell,

Big Pivots: A renewables milestone for Colorado (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Colorado this year achieved a milestone in its energy transition. During the first three months, according to the Energy Information Administration, 53% of all our electricity came from renewable sources. We should easily end the year above 50%. Just 2.6% of our electricity came from renewables in 2004, almost entirely from hydroelectricity from Colorado River dams. That same year, Colorado voters adopted Amendment 37, requiring Xcel Energy and other larger utilities to get 10% of their electric
