Plight of the Greater Sage-Grouse

The greater sage-grouse—a once-abundant bird emblematic of the wide open spaces of the West—is now gone from nearly half of its original range, with steady declines occurring in Colorado and neighboring states. An upcoming decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about whether or not to list the bird for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has prompted much debate over the fate of this iconic species.

Right now, big utilities are required to generate 20% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. A new bill in the state legislature would raise that standard to 30%, ensuring that nearly one-third of electricity comes from sources like wind, solar, and agricultural biomass. The new standard would make Colorado a national clean energy leader. 02/03/10
