Gov. Polis Statement on Trump Administration’s Roll Back of Clean Power Plan

DENVER - Following reports of the Trump administration’s intentions to roll back the Clean Power Plan, Gov. Jared Polis issued the following statement:

“While some in Washington are trying to reverse climate action and ensure more pollutants end up in our air and our lungs, in Colorado we are committed to protecting clean air and ensuring a transition to renewable energy. That’s why we’ve set a goal of 100 percent renewable energy by 2040, a challenge that will not only protect our climate and environment for generations to come, but strengthen our economy and workforce, lower health care costs and improve the health of our communities,” said Governor Jared Polis.

Governor Polis recently unveiled the administration’s roadmap to 100 percent renewable energy by 2040. View the full roadmap here.
