Governor's Energy Office

A story in today’s Denver Post reports that new legislation is being offered to change the name of the Governor’s Energy Office to the Colorado Energy Office, and will remove Governor Ritter’s phrase “New Energy Economy” from state law.  Proponents of the bill say this change will allow the office to focus on all kinds of energy, not just “new” energy sources.  Opponents say the change “diminish[es Colorado’s] brand” as a renewable energy leader.  Whatever name the office goes by, our library has collected (and will continue to collect) the many resources published by this office.  Some of the recent GEO publications available in our library include:
