Western Colorado Energy Summit

University Center South Ballroom
One of the main focus issues at this meeting will be the contentious Roan Plateau. I don’t need to tell any of you how important this issue is to our state, the poor economic situation here in Western Colorado is mostly man-made due to the environmental extremist and EPA excessive regulation. It is imperative that we get behind our Republican Representatives to help them get the energy industries back up and running strong on the Western Slope.
Yes, we all love our beautiful views and the critters that live in our part of the state and the energy industries are bending over backwards, nearly to the point of breaking, to keep disturbing them to a minimum. But that isn’t good enough for the EPA and environmental extremist who put views, bugs and other critters before human life and jobs. If we’re going to win this battle folks, we are all going to have to start fighting back. Please try to make this meeting.
