Furthermore, efforts have been made to encourage utilities in Colorado to adopt clean energy electricity generation and geothermal heating and cooling within the state. These laws build upon more than 70 other laws signed by Governor Polis that focus on electric vehicles, improving air quality, building efficiency, cutting emissions, environmental justice, and more.

As global leaders continue to gather at events like the Global Leaders Energy Summit, it is clear that Colorado is setting an example for others to follow in creating a cleaner and more sustainable future.
