While campaigning for his first term in office, Gov. Jared Polis said he wanted to see 100% of the power on Colorado’s electric grid come from renewable energy sources by 2040. Lawmakers have approved bills furthering that vision by setting targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the goal being 100% reduction from 2005 levels by 2050. Coal plants across Colorado have been shut down with all of them expected to close by the end of 2030.
