Governor Ritter’s call to action: “In my time as Governor, Colorado saw tremendous benefit from our commitment to clean energy,” said former Colorado Governor Bill Ritter. “I call on Western state policymakers to similarly prioritize clean energy and to reach across state lines to help build a stronger energy future for the West. We can’t afford to wait for Washington, nor should we. The West is the land of frontiers, of pioneers and innovation. Let’s make good on that heritage. Let’s break with business-as-usual and build a more prosperous, safe, and sustainable energy future.”
