Our purpose is to promote the development and use of energy sources that are not finite in supply but are constantly renewed by the sun or the earth. In addition to being essentially infinite because of their renewable nature, these sources have the added benefit of being little or non-polluting. Our mission is to promote the interchange of ideas with others, actively petition the legislature to promote sustainable energy and environmental policies, and provide an educational forum for its members, developers, architects, and the citizens of Colorado. Renewable energy has a long history in Colorado.
Sunshine promotes crop and tree growth that provided food, fuel, and fodder for the early settlers.
Wind energy pumped water and allowed ranchers to graze cattle long before electricity was introduced to the Centennial State. Using renewable energy sources in Colorado will allow us to maintain our healthy economy without sacrificing the health of our beautiful state. Our purpose is to promote the continued use of these clean and independent energy sources. In long hearings before Colorado's Public Utilities Commission they won their argument that Wind Energy can be cost competitive with other forms of energy in the long term. Xcel Energy will be required to build a 162MW Wind Power Plant near Lamar, Colorado as part of their new power generation capacity.
