Developing Clean Energy Resources on Federal Lands to Boost Local Economies
I co-sponsored bipartisan legislation to help advance clean energy development on public lands while also ensuring that development is being done in a responsible way. America – and Colorado, in particular – is blessed with bountiful renewable resources on expansive federal lands. This bill would create a pilot leasing program for renewable energy development on public lands, potentially streamlining development of renewable energy while also directing revenues to states, counties and a fish and wildlife conservation fund. This bill continues the Western tradition of a balanced land use policy that supports development as well as conservation.
If you have further questions about this or any other issue, please contact me with your concerns.
