Transform today’s challenges into opportunities: John

Colorado is in many ways at the forefront of the current energy renaissance. We have been blessed with a variety of energy sources and our oil and gas industry is a vital part of our economy with 100,000 jobs and a $2 billion US annual revenue. Access to energy is together with education the single most important driver against poverty, so we are really committed to this industry.

We have accepted and recognized that we need to do everything we can to keep our air and water clean while creating this access. This cannot be done by the government alone. With our partners in what I call the golden triangle (government, non-profit and business at the local level), we are able to simplify regulations to establish sustainable growth.
