From national security, to combating climate change, to increasing energy supplies and lowering consumer energy costs, I am a proponent of developing and securing America’s energy independence.  The United States, and Colorado, have a wealth of natural resources readily available.  Colorado is well positioned to take full advantage of our natural resources in a responsible and sustainable way, if unnecessary regulations and bureaucratic delays can be eliminated.  To achieve broader energy independence, we must unleash and rapidly deploy the energy innovations that are being pioneered right here in America.
